bell enigma X SHTCT?

[leoman777]

i used the search and couldnt find anything and as many people know im not the best at genetics... so i was wondering what a bell enigma (M) and SHTCT (F) outcomes are...

any help is appreciated! :main_yes:

According to the files on www.leopardgeckowiki.com, the Bell albino gene is a recessive. The enigma mutant is a dominant, but no homozygous enigmas have been produced. Therefore, a Bell albino enigma gecko has a pair of Bell albino mutant genes and an enigma mutant gene paired with a normal gene. It also has a pair of normal genes where the hypo mutant gene would be located.

Also according to www.leopardgeckowiki.com, SHTCT stands for super hypo tangerine carrot tail. Hypo is supposed to be a dominant mutant gene. A super hypo should have a pair of hypo genes but may have only one hypo mutant paired with a normal gene. As I understand it, tangerine and carrot tail are line bred traits. In addition, the SHTCT gecko has a pair of normal genes where the enigma mutant is located and probably has a pair of normal genes where the Bell albino mutant genes would be located.

Results with two hypo genes in the SHTCT:
1/2 hypo enigma
1/2 hypo

Results with one hypo gene in the SHTCT:
1/4 hypo enigma
1/4 hypo
1/4 enigma
1/4 normal

The babies could show a tangerine tendency, a carrot tail tendency, or both. Any prediction of how much would be a wild guess on my part. All of the babies would also be heterozygous for Bell albino.

Hope this helps.

You will get
- Hypo Enigmas het bell Albino
- Hypo het bell Albino
- Enigma het bell Albino

I think all the hatchlings will hit some Hypo and Tangerine Genes.
But you´ll get for sure 50% Enigma and 50% non Enigma all het Bell.
