genetics question

[Kirksherps]

ive been breeding leopard geckos and bearded dragons for a few years. this is my first year having some dragons with some color and genetics. my male is a dachiu clear nail hypo (the yellow one) and my female is a dachiu, sandfire cross. is the clear nail hypo a ressesive trait making the hatchlings hets? thanks kirk

From my understanding of the gene, it is recessive and you can get het from breeding a clear nail to a normal nail. They usually aren't marketed as het's though, or atleast I've never seen them that way. You could always start a new trend.

btw... great looking babies. They've got some great color to be so small.

can't wait to see what they look like when they start growing that is the color right out of the egg

For the female she is a sandfire cross. If dachiu sold you the dragon as sandfire cross with nothing else, then it is a cross with a normal.

What is she crossed with?

As for the babies they are 50% het for clear nail.

They should be 50% het for Hypomelanistic. Not sure i will have to look in to it again?
