Opinions?

My breeding project went a bit bust when my Male/Female tremper pair ended up Male/Male. Not all is lost though, as I have my Male tremper albino who I am keeping and my female hypo tangerine. The bearded gecko will be sending me a Female Sunglow to make up for the tremper "female", but that won't be until the end of this year or later. Because of this I am thinking of, at least currently breeding my Male tremper and female hypo tang.

Correct me if I am wrong but this would produce:
50% Hypo het tremper
50% normal het tremper

Now, since it is late and I can't really think clearly in terms of numbers, where could I go from here? Say I kept a hypo het tremper, where would that put me in terms of the Sunglow female and the Tremper male and the Hypo Tang female?

I don't plan on breeding them until my female puts on a bit more weight since she just started eating again after brumating, so I have plenty of time to figure out what my plans are.
Thanks.

Have you considered the patterns and polygenic traits of you geckos? If they exhibit ct and stripe patternless, the 50% Hypo het tremper if bred to its siblings gives you a chance to get Aptors or Hybinos

I'm new to this sorry haha

None of my geckos exhibit patternless as far as I am aware .

The 50% figures don't hold because it's a polygenetic/line bred trait. With the tremper/hypo pairing you will probably get babies with a range of spotting and tang coloration. If you hold back the nicest of these and breed it back to the albino parent or to one of the other morphs you're proposing, you have a possibility of getting a sunglow.
