If you are talking about just the eclipse gene (and not the pattern, which you should really take into account when considering RAPTORs, but that complicates the issue), then the non-eclipse offspring would be 66% poss. het for eclipse - the same as for any other simple recessive gene.

cool, so all babies that do not have full eclipsed red eyes will be 66% chance het for raptor even though both parents are only het themselves??

The eyes of the RAPTOR offspring may be snake-eyed rather than fully eclipsed, but any that are not either snake-eyed or completely eclipsed will be 66% het. for eclipse.

eclipse being the ruby eye i.e. whats tinned at 'het raptor'?

and there 66% chance of being hets right? cos 25% will be not het and 50% will be het but you cant tell so there all labled as 66% right?

Yes, although if you look at this thread http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=8933 Alberto is saying the eclipse gene isn't simple recessive...so you might not get exactly what you expect!
