Dominant vs Recessive

[krazedpythonboy]

How do you know what morph is dominant vs recessive when breeding? I'd like to start reading up on it before the next breeding season. Any good thorough readings that anyone can point me to?

use leopard gecko wiki's morph section, most of the definitions include wether or not its recessive and stuff.

but theres really not much to learn.

Dominant/co-dominant ones are:
Mack snow/ super snow
Giant/ super giant
Enigma (i think)
And normal is dominant.

Simple recessive traits are:
All albino strains
patternless
blizzard
eclipse
and jungle and bvandit and stripe act like recessive.

rest are polygenetic and line-bred traits
like tangerine and super hypo etc.

Your best bet is to read this forum and google leopard gecko wiki.

I hate the leopard gecko wiki. It's about as reliable as Wikipedia. Which is like, not reliable at all.

Learn by asking. Do your research through here or other webistes, befriend an awesome breeder and ask them to teach you a little about genetics, or maybe even head off to the library.

But do NOT rely upon the leopard gecko wiki.

Im not saying use it as a bible, they have SOME decent information about older morphs.

I recommend getting a good book too, id say the best leo book for leo gentics is Ron Trempers, 'The Herpetoculture Of Leopard Gecko's'

Do some research on site sponsors sites, books, searches in the forums, and asking what information you cant seem to find at any of these places. this would be your best bet in finding out your answers.
