A little genitics help would be great....

I have a pair that I mated this year and I'm a bit confused with the outcomes. I know the pairing isn't everyones cup of tea. The male is a Bell Ghost Enigma and the female is a tremper. I've had some interesting outcomes from this group which I've posted. The real question is I've got 2 reverse stipe juvies from this and niether parent is striped. I'd like to know if this is a normal outcome or do I have something else going on with the female?

It seems so far that the stripe/jungle gene is not so well understood. I can only say that a few years ago I bred my stripe female to my banded tremper male and got 50% striped babies. I have never gotten that high a percentage of stripes from a stripe/non-stripe cross before. What's more, when I bred the same male to one of his daughters (SHTCT, not a stripe) I got a few jungles, one with snake eyes. To make things more confusing, when I bred this male last season with his grandaughter, who is an albino stripe, once again I got relatively few stripes. If you do some crosses with different geckos, you may find out which one (or both) is/are responsible for the stripes.

are the parents both banded?

.....

That pairing is a genetics nightmare.

i would have to assume that the tremper is het eclipse that would semi explain the revese stripe

Yes both parents are banded. SO thats why I'm confused as to the stripe outcome. Would it come from dad or mom?
