Alright Tegu experts, I’m looking for some help with probably a really simple question, just my brain doesn’t work. I’m familiar with Boa and Ball Python genes/traits. Just when it comes to Polygenic traits like in tegus, I kinda go dumb… Or at least I believe they are polygenic.
So I understand there is 2 recessive albino lines in tegus, and then everything else is a hybrid? Or am I misunderstanding.
I’ve got a Blue, Purple, and what was sold to us as a Silver Flame. The Blue I can definitely see it as a blue tegu, The Purple and Silver flame… Well I can’t really tell much of a difference, the purple is blacker, and the silver flame is more grey, almost like what Anerythristic does in boas.
How exactly does the color trait play out, I’d Assume if you bred Blue to Blue, you could expect blue babies? and If you bred Blue to say red, you be 50% blue 50% red? Or is that not how that works and you would get Blue/red combo babies?
I know, I probably sound dumb. bear with me though. Please and thank you,
-Hans
