Hi everyone, this is my first clutch of Desert Ghosts so I’m feeling uncertain about identifying them.
First of all, are they all visual Desert Ghosts? I think so, but I might be mistaken.
And the second, please correct my attempt to identify the hatchlings, especially for number 1-3.
The dame was sold as Leopard Enchi Lemonblast Desert Ghost but there’s a possibility of spotnose from her parents.
Desert Ghost (DG) is a recessive trait, so if both parents are correctly identified as homozygous (visual) DG, then all offspring will be homozygous (visual) DG. So, yes, all of the offspring are (visual) DG.
Pastel is an incomplete dominant trait, so if one parent is correctly identified as homozygous (Super) Pastel and the other is correctly identified as heterozygous Pastel, then 50% will be Pastel and 50% will be Super Pastel.
We know you got the DB labeling correct. It looks to me you got the Pastel labeling correct too. The rest of the traits, too difficult for me to say. Thank God for genetic testing.
The problem is I submitted both of the parents’ sheds for the free DG test from RGI last year and the results were the male was only het DG and the female was not DG at all (I sent sheds twice for the female, same result)
I didn’t plan to pair them actually knowing there’s a possibilty of making a super spotnose.
But after the result, my priority were to prove out that they were actually visual DGs, as they were my only two supposedly visual DGs.
That’s why I’m asking if the hatchlings are all visual DGs. I think they are but then again, I’m new to DGs.
