Genetics Questions.

Need some advice from the pros here.

Just accquired 2 babies.

Was told that the parents are STEALTH ENIGMA x GALAXY

These are the baby pictures..

Anyone able to identify them?

Using the "Genetics Calculator" (link below), it looks like the babies are the following probabilities:


(Assuming "galaxy" is = SuperSnow Eclipse)

	1/4	Black Hole HET Bell Albino
	1/4	Mack Snow Eclipse HET Bell Albino
	1/4	Super Snow Enigma Eclipse HET Bell Albino
	1/4	Total Eclipse HET Bell Albino

---------------------------------------------------
However, since one of your hatchlings has solid red eyes, let's assume that the "galaxy" is bell albino...so the hatchlings, after changing one little gene, have the following probabilities:

	1/4	Mack Snow RADAR
	1/4	Stealth
	1/4	Super RADAR
	1/4	Super Stealth

-----------------------------------------------------




As for visually identifying them, I don't have the experience....yet...lol

Neither of them strike me as albinos but they may be if their eyes are red. The top looks to me like a super snow enigma and the bottom looks like a normal enigma. Neither of them strike me as an eclipse either (they lack the white nose and feet) but sometimes this can be difficult to see and I don't know if enigma affects it. There is a chance your super snow was mislabeled as a Galaxy as some folks don't realize that super snows have solid eyes regardless of whether they have the eclipse trait and it can be difficult to tell if a super snow has the eclipse trait unless they show clear signs of white feet/nose. Definitely if the little one is albino your super snow is het for albino.

Do you have pictures of the parents you can post?

Im not seeing anything in the way of albino either, but it may just be how the photo came out. I will say there are a few signs of eclipse in the SS enigma. But I wouldnt count on that until those signs are easier to see or you test breed later on. The other enigma could very well be eclipse but its impossible to tell from the picture.

None of that really helps at all..lol.

Youll be able to tell a lot more as they age. I'd give it some time and then make an assessment

Hmm my mistake. The gecko doesn't have solid red eyes, but it is red. So I assume albino in it?

whereas the yellow one, it has normal enigma eyes.. So I'm guessing a normal enigma HET something?

Enigma eyes are orangeish. It doesn't necessarily indicate albino. Albino eyes would be a tan/pink color with an orange enigma tinge. Look around the internet for eye pictures of albino enigmas and compare yours to them would be my advice.
