Can you guys give me a few ideas?

[GeckoStud]

I'm taking a small animal science class in school this year and my teacher is allowing me to keep and breed small lizards in the class. Guess which ones i picked :main_evilgrin:

Any way i was just wondering if you guys could give me some ideas for a trio that would produce different looking offspring for each pairing.

I was thinking maybe a giant of some form and some others that may produce a couple different results. Basically its a dumbed down genetics class, and i was trying to come up with some groups that would produce cool offspring.

Any ideas?

Well, as I'm learning very slowly here partly from reading and partly from help on this forum, get two leo's that are double het for the same two traits. That would leave you with a whole sleue of possible mixes. You'd get a bit of the normal type and then some of one morph and some of the other and then some that are both morphs at once and then lots of normals. So it would vary depending.

LVPAs....everyone likes LVPAs! Have a male LVPA, a het LVA, and a het patty female (or just a het LVPA female). With that group, you'll get normals, Las Vegas Albinos, Patties....and everything will be 100% hets.

I agree with Shanti!!! If you cross an LV albino het patternless with a patternless het LV albino, the predicted odds are that you would get:

- 25% normals that are double het LVPA
- 25% LVPA
- 25% LV albino het for patternless
- 25% patternless het for LV albino

Hmmm, that sounds good... LVPA are one of my favorite morphs too:wacko:

I was also thinking of something similar too but with the Trempers, A giant, a tremper patternless, and a het something something.

But the LVPA sounds tempting... Who knows i may get two trios... :main_laugh:

I agree with the Het LVPA's! It's so much fun seeing what will come out of the eggs

So like are the loes going to be property of the school?Or yours?Or your teachers?

I like the LVPA idea too! The way Marcia set it up you'll have four completely different looking types of babies resulting - that would be really fun for your classmates who may not appreciate the subtle difference between a giant hatchling and normal one. The results are still relatively simple, after all it is supposed to be a basic genetics course, so you don't want to get too complicated.

Two trios - now you're talking!

They would be mine but any profits made from them would go to the class and ag association. At least thats how I think it works.
LOL if any "profits" are made, i just want to take it because it will be fun.
