A little genetic help needed.

[CSMGecko]

I am still trying to understand all of the genetic stuff right now, it's a lot of info and variations. I have produced an Albino and a Mack Snow Albino from a male albino snow and a CH,CT Tang Albino het Raptor female. The question is are my babies het Raptor or not? If so what would percentage be? I think it would just be a possible het but I am not positive. Any help would be great. Thanks.

A raptor is selectively bred for orange besides having three recessive mutant genes - Tremper albino, eclipse, and patternless. An albino het raptor would be heterozygous for eclipse and patternless. Your babies have a 50% probability of being het eclipse, a 50% probability of being het patternless, and a 25% probability of being both het eclipse and het patternless. Some might call that a possible het raptor, but I think that's stretching the facts a bit.

When we talk about the Patternless you need to remember we are talking about the Patternless Stripe Gene not the Murphy's Patternless.

So really there isn't any way of truthfully knowing until they are bred out. I was just curious on what I should post them as when they go up for sale or if I hold 1 or 2 back for breeding purposes.

:main_yes:

And your babies are %50 het RAPTOR (het eclipse).
