Murphy's patternless x tremper albino....

[dprince]

...........should be all tremper albinos het patternless, correct?

A gentleman just called me and stated that he had gotten a "leucistic" leopard male at the pet store, and bred him with his known tangerine tremper albino.......and the pictures he sent to me were of very normal looking babies. So his "leucistic" gecko is a patternless - an assumption on my part - and must also carry a gene for a different line of albino.......I mean, even if his "leucistic" gecko was a blizzard, that's still a recessive gene.....I can't think of another gecko that might even look "leucistic"......

I can't think of anything else. Thoughts?

given leucistic is the old name for patternless (and oddly Ron calls them patternless in the 1998 version of The Leo Gecko Manual - with no mention of "his" patternless) I'd say it's probably a patternless. Then again PetS**** here had an ugly as sin pair of blizzards for sale about 2 months ago, so could be that too - like you said.

Nonetheless, he just produced double hets, which is correct. They should not be albino at all, unless the "leucistic" is het for albino. By crossing the 2 recessive traits he should get nothing but normals, assuming neither gecko, albino or leucistic, is heterozygous for the other gecko's trait.

didnt I give you a tool to know about this?

 

[dprince]

Yes.........but I only have enigmas in my morph tool. At least, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.........
