But Gazz how you can explain Red Stripe x Bold Stripe Bell giving me an eclipsed eye? I have since proven that it was genetic when I hatched an eclipse and a Radar.

IMO that would likely be that your breeders was HET Eclipse, Now i'm not saying that you got Eclipse from Tremper blood it's self, One maybe and one not'etc. The are others of the same genes out there, Like TUG Snow and GEM Snow both basically the same, Both are Dominant snow and they came from two lines, And if you bred them to gether it would be like breeding TUG Snow to TUG Snow or GEM Snow to GEM Snow.

A good example of such a thing is me:D. I have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. And my Dad and Mum are HET LGMD, And they are totally unrelated both have totally differant paths they don't share any blood, But both are HET the same trait.

So what you are saying there are different lines of Eclipse trait out there?

Well yes, Why not, The leo's that gave the Eclipse gene to Tremper have ancestors, Relitive'etc. And all the main leo's in captivity came from a hand full of leo's, So the over all gene pool is't that big. If you got Eclipse eye from two leo's that wheren't surpose to be, And you bred that offspring to a Eclipse eye and got Eclipse eye offspring, Then yes there are differant lines of Eclipse eye out there.
