I could cheat and look at the Bold & Bright site :D


haha! Good eye! I am a bit of a green horn. Can you help try and explain the genetics to me? I am lost when it comes to dominate and co-dominate and recessive. He is listed as an "Electric Emerine Bold Stripe Bell, 66% het Eclipse" What does that mean exactly?

I believe "electric" is a line of tangerine. Emerine is a morph, bold stripe is a morph, bell is a morph (specific albino) and it has a 66% chance of being het for eclipse. Het means that it carries the gene, but does not visually express it. Any recessive gene needs both parents to carry a gene in order to visually express it. You can look up each of those morph names specifically to see what they are. Your animal would have all of those combined into one gecko.
