hypo, superhypo, patternless or baldy???

[Sasha2]

Im a bit confused still about genetics. I struggle so please bare with me. He does have 3 faint spots on his head and I can see the bands on his body.And he is more yellow then tang like the pic shows.
What would this male be considered? And if I bred him to a Hypo albino what would I get?(hypos het albino?)

If you bred him to an hybino (hypo albino) you would get hypos that were het for albino assuming he has no hidden hets. You may get a few with some spots since super hypo is a line bred trait.

A gecko is usually called hypo if it has less than 10 spots on its back. A super hypo is a line bred form of hypo with no spots on its back. Baldy is another line bred trait that means the gecko has no spots on the top of its head. If your guy has 3 faint spots on the top of his head then he shouldn't really be called a baldy.

There are three kinds of albino (Tremper, Bell and Rainwater) Before you breed him to an albino you should find out if there is a possibility of any albino het in his background. If there is then you should breed him only to that kind of albino. If you don't have a way of finding out if a het is a possibility any geckos he produces should be sold as pet quality since you won't know their genetic background.

Looks like a SHTCT (that's common shorthand for "super hypo tangerine carrot tail). If it werent for the 3 faint spots on his head, I think he would be a SHTCT Baldy. But he looks awesome! Alot of people love the SHTCT and if you breed him to another SHTCT, then you will likely "line-breed" to get more of those spots out and get a little more "carrot" in the tail(???).

Breeding him to another lineage might take away from the purity that past breeders have focused on to get him so nice (???)

Great, thanks..The hybino is tremper I know that but this guy is unknown.
I am looking around for a female for him.
Or I am wanting a female for my tangerine jungle, I do have a hypo jungle female as well.

I agree you should find a nice super hypo and work on getting more of those spots out and get a little more "carrot" in the tail if you want to play around with hatching some..



My girl Sammy has a bit of CT but you can't see it in the picture.. They look a lot alike..
