Breeding combinations?

[BH-]

Hello
So I've been reading through a lot of threads on here and have picked up on the idea that there are certain gecko morphs you can and cannot breed.

In the future I would like to have a go at breeding geckos but I will only have a very small collection (Three geckos)

Male - SHTCTB

Females:

Blazing blizzard
Hypo tangerine

Would my male be suitable to breed with both of these geckos? If so, any idea on what I would end up with?

Thanks a lot
Ben.

There are no geckos morphs that you can't breed because the babies will all die. However, breeding different albino strains is highly frowned upon because it will ultimately be impossible to tell what strain you have. The babies will be perfectly healthy, but unreliable as breeders.

Your super hypo and hypo tangs are "line bred" meaning that the best way to reproduce them is to breed the nicest ones together (that's a bit of an oversimplification, but the general idea). The blazing blizzard is both albino and blizzard, both of which are recessive traits. So, breeding your tangs together will give you a variety of tang shades and degrees of spotting. Breeding the SHTCTB to the blazing blizzard will give you the same as above. In addition, the offspring will all have an unexpressed gene for both blizzard and albino. Some of them may have more of a speckled look because of the blizzard influence.
