jungle het stripe?

I noticed back in the fall that there were some jungle het stripes for sale and figured they were from stripe line and now are seeing more or them.
Is it correct then that a jungle is het stripe if the parents or a parent was a stripe?
I know jungle is connected the stripes, I just hadn't seen it openly marketed as a het stripe until this past fall, but hadn't thought about it really until now. Otherwise I'd have listed my jungles as het stripe too.
Or would any jungle be het stripe since the possability is there?
Does this mean then that a lot more people are on board with stripes being recessive if they are accepting a jungle as het stripe?
If this was discussed already I'm sorry. I'm still catching up on the genetics threads from being away for awhile and couldn't find anything on this.

Oh geeze, I feel a debate coming on! LOL

I list our jungles as being "from stripe lines" if one parent was a stripe. We also have the morph of each parent listed for each gecko to help people understand what the genetics are behind it. That way I can avoid the whole "Is stripe recessive?" discussion.

No, no, no debates on the stripe recessive-it's been beaten to death already. I just see a lot of jungles being listed as het stripe and wondering if it's a "well they do it so I am", or if it's all jungles or only jungles from stripe lines. I list my jungles same as you do as well.

Put it this way, from what i have seen jungles can produce stripes, stripes can produce jungles, and reverse stripes can produce stripes and jungles, etc etc................... so on and so on.

I think for the most part the three morphs all tied together.

There is no het stripes in a recessive way but IMO it is a inherited trait due to the uniformed pattern being buried deep in the leo's DNA.Jungle is a by product of striped in the order that line breeding jungle for more uniformed striped pattern.So striped in a sence is a controled jungle so as a result breeding a jungle to a striped will usually result in a mix of striped and jungle offspring and breeding two jungles can rarely result in some striped offspring depending on the strength of the striped ancestry of the perant leo's.IMO a jungle is a step up from aberrant and a striped is a step up from a jungle.

Sp what is your thought on Reverse stripe, bc Jungles can produce reverse stripes as well, do you think that the reverse stripe is like the Stripe, it os kinda line breed. Just wondering what you think.
I consider it to be more of a line breed thrait, (or not a simple recesive)

Reverse striped is fairly new to the UK as we've really only started getting them due to the APTOR/RAPTOR blood.I think that striped & reverse striped are essentially the same thing BUT there is a little somthing more going on resulting in reverse striped.On a striped the band that usually go across the body(a typical leo) are broken in two from the spine and forced either side of the body where they fused together.In the reverse stripe it the opposite way round the bands are forced to the up to the center of the body(spine) and fused to gether.I can't tell you what the missing link is for this happening it just what i beleave.
