Bold Stripe Genes

[Stitch]

I have a bold stripe, when I asked what her genetic background was this was the answer I got: (Bold jungle x Redstripe) x sib.

What does that mean?

I should probably know but I'm not breeding this gecko so I never bothered to figure out if her genes are recessiv, dominant, co-dom...etc. I believe that both the Bold and Red Stripe are line bred traits.

I'm going to guess that one parent was the jungle x redstripe and the other parent was banded but had a clutchmate that was a stripe. I think there have been some discussions elsewhere on the forum about the genetics of stripes and there were differences of opinion, possibly due to the fact that there may be multiple types of stripes. Here is my experience in the last 2 seasons of working with stripes:

1. stripe (from redstripe bloodlines) x banded: 50% stripe, 50% banded (out of 20 hatchlings)

2. same stripe from above x patternless red stripe: 100% stripe; at least 4 of the 11 produced (one more hatch due within 24 hours) could be called patternless red stripe and at least one is a bold stripe

3. stripe (daughter of the stripe from above with a banded father) x patternless red stripe: 3 reduced pattern geckos -- one stripe, one (very) partial reverse stripe and 1 jungle

4. banded (albino) x patternless redstripe: 100% banded (sample of only 5)

I don't know the genetic heritage of the banded albino (first pairing above) that fathered 50% stripes; for all I know he could have had stripes in his parentage.

If I understand you right : It means that to make a bold stripe you need to breed a bold jungle to a red stripe and then breed the offspring back to each other to come up with a bold stripe.

I had bold stripes before there were any red stripes, and they came out of jungle lines.

so why not Bold X Bold?

so why not Bold X Bold?

All of my bolds come from bold x bold now. The originals came out of jungle lines.

I think my geckos parents were two siblings that were bred together. These siblings came from a bold stripe x red stripe crossing.

That's correct.

Yes you were very close. "Bold" and "Red" are the parts of the morphs that are linbred, though bold markings seem to be somewhat dominant. The Stripe and Jungle "gene" acts like a co-recessive gene, since you can breed them to other patterns, and come up with something new. Like the Patternless Stripe/Eclipse/Aptor/Raptor project.
