Naieve question about het RAPTORs

[JohnJohn]

OK, I have a female that I bought as het RAPTOR. I bred her with a nice male Tremper, that I bought as just a Tremper. I hatched out some trempers and a few nice RAPTORs proving that this Tremper boy is also het RAPTOR. Bonus!

So, I know that there is some connection between RAPTOR genetics and reverse stripe. I have always been impressed that my femal het RAPTOR has a slight dorsal stripe. Now that I look closely I can see there is a significant but light dorsal stripe on my het male too.

Do het RAPTORs often show some dorsal stripe? If I see a Tremper with a noticable dorsal stripe, could this be an indication that it could be het RAPTOR or het APTOR?

Thanks for all your advice!

Here's a picture of the het RAPTOR boy. You can see his little bit of a dorsal stripe. That's what I'm asking about.

i actually dont think thats too accurate

Most of my geckos of all morphs have dorsal stripes like that. I think it's part of being a gecko.

As far as stripes go, they arent really het markers or anything for the eclipse gene but they can "unlock" it. The reason we have the eclipse trait is from breeding differrent stripes together... but not necessarily dorsal stripes. like aliza said, its usually just part of being a gecko.
