double het? recessive?

Didn't think this went under morphs, but if so please move.
Anyhow, a little confused here about the double/triple hets. Ex: breeding a hybino (which is classified as what exactly? a leo showing phenotype of both recessive genes?) to a leopard showing one trait ex. jungle but also a het ex. albino would give normals that are triple hets? I get confused when trying to add in the hybino.

A het hybino is a single het. When you break down what a hybino is, it's an albino super hypo tang. The albino is recessive, and everything else is a line breed trait.

An example of a double het would be a het LVPA - where it's het for Las Vegas Albino and Patternless. It would look normal.

A triple het could be a Mack Snow het LVPA. The catch to this one is, because the Mack Snow is co-dom, it would phenotypically look like a Mack Snow, but the LVPA wouldn't be apparent. The homozygous form (you have to get lucky!!) would be a Super Snow LVPA...I don't think anyone had made it yet, but I think it would be a pink (or maybe blotchy pink) at hatching, and a solid white or pink when older.

Het applies to any simple genetic trait (activated by a single gene)...when working with line breed (or polygenic) traits, you can't produce hets.

Well, I was thinking of breeding a hybino to one of my stripe het bells next year. So that's 2 linebred traits and one recessive? I'm thinking they will be normals or some form of stripe het bell? more of an orange stripe? And then I know I'd get some albinos as well. I couldn't figure it out what I'd get or the percentages on the genetics wizard. i don't even know how to put in in a punnett square. I'm just thinking of a new pairing instead of breeding both stripes to the same male.

What type of albino is your hybino? If it's Bell, you'll get some Bell babies. In some lines, the stripe acts recessive, in other lines breed. You'll probably get geckos with varying amounts of tang, spots, and patterns ranging from stripe to normal - roughly 1/2 should be albino.

Oh, and to help you with those pesky punnet squares, go here! http://www.geneticswizard.com/ You can use it for dominate, co-dom, and recessive traits.
