trying breeding leopard geckos
I have Baaz(assyrian for falcon) who is a 5 yr old super snow albino (bell) with a reverse stripe and her new boyfriend Busa(a super snow) I’m hopping for a beautiful mix for these too, any suggestions or advice welcomed. yes there is a total of 6+ hides most Burried accept for one. Repticon was fun this year!
What do you guys think the babies will come out as?
All of the babies will look like Busa and be het for bell albino. Some might have some striped markings but that’s not something that can be guaranteed.
U think i could possibly get a albino bell like the mom?
All forms of albinism are recessive, so the father would need to be het bell albino to have a 25% chance at any albino babies.
Similarly, different lines/strains of albino are not compatible, so if the father was het for any other form of albino there would still be no chance for visual babies, but of the babies would be het for both types of albinism (assuming the father even could be het, which is usually included in the listing/price for the animal)
As @cmills said, Busa needs to have het Bell for albino offspring.
If Busa was het tremper or het Vegas/Rainwater you won’t get albinos. They would be all het for bell and 50% of the babies would also be het for the other type.
Most breeders try to avoid double hets for albino as they can cause confusion when they continue to be passed along a lineage.
Do you guys think my geckos are eclipse also
No. Super snows naturally have solid color eyes.
They can possibly be het eclipse if the parents were carrying it, but they aren’t visually eclipse.
If they were eclipse they would also have what looks like someone dipped their nose tail and legs in white paint. It’s called pied markings.
