Cross Question 1

[Byrns149]

what would Super Hypo Tang Super Giant Het BellXTangerine make? my friend wanted me to post this since he just got the super giant today at the reptile expo. he is planning on breeding these to. please respond.

 

[robin]

it would make a tangerine poss giant poss het bell

 

[jandsfannon]

You will make all Giant Tangs (all varying in hypo and super hypo) possibly het bell

I seen no SG tang het bells today at whiteplains and would question it's genetics of "SG het bell" if it was under $200

With that said.

SG x non giant makes all giants . so the story goes .

Giant x non giant gives 50% giants so the story goes.

I don't want to call any breeder/ vender out, but how big is this animal in question and what age?

 

[robin]

i though the giant gene was kinda hit and miss. and that giant x giant would not necessarily give you super giants, they MIGHT but not always and maybe not even some giants. thats what i have heard.
i dont care what the creator says. i think the genetics are a bit different. however i do think there is something to them for sure.

 

[paulnj]

Giant X giant gives 25 % non giant(normal size) , 50% giant and 25% SG. so the story goes

 

[crotaphytidae]

A Giant X Giant will give you:
25% chance of normal size
50% chance of Giant
25% chance of Super Giant

And a Giant X Normal will give you:
50% chance Giant
50% chance Normal Size

But a Super Giant X Normal will give you:
100% Giants

all this is as long as the mode of inheritance acts true to Co-Dominant.
And yes as long as the animals are what was said the offspring will be Giant Tangerines 50% chance of being het for Bell.

 

[robin]

so the story goes ...

 

[robin]

i dont think the true genetics of giants work like a true recessive. it doesnt even seen co-com all the time. i do think their is something to giants but i think the true genetics are unknown or they are some kind of incomplete gene
would a non giant from giant bloodlines x a non giant from giant bloodlines possibly give you a giant?

i have seen people post 60 and 70 gram geckos as giants and 100 gram geckos as super giants.
i have had these seize geckos with no giant influence

 

[Byrns149]

its 5 months old and it weighs around 70 grams. its a female. shes huge. If u want ill even tell you the breeder. hes very well known.

 

[robin]

no it's ok i am not saying your gecko is not a super giant or whatever. i am still confused after all of these years LOL of the true genetics of the giant, is it co-dom or not or hit and miss. i know what the creator of the morph says but i think it may be a bit more and a gene that is misunderstood.

 

[paulnj]

The animal is quite believable having been told who the vender was.
