Possible Giant?

[happysmile88]

I've got myself a gecko that's:

• 80 grams
• 10 inches tail to head
• around 1.8 years of age

I don't know if she qualifies for a giant, but she is visually longer and chunkier than my other females. The person I got her from told me that she came from a Aptor x Giant Raptor, so there's the possibility she is giant.

I just want to know what you guys think, it would be great if she was though a giant though. :banana:

I believe that it would all depend on where the giant gene stands in the realm of genetics(recessive, dominate etch)

I suppose it's always been a hit or miss

She looks like a giant to me. I think she is long and lanky like my giant male. I have a few females in the 80s but they are only 8.5-9 inches long. You could test breed her to be sure. Correct me if I'm wrong but the giant gene is a co-dom gene so you should get about half giants if you have a giant/normal pairing.

If its Co-Dom then breeding her back to her to a giant would proof her, correct me if im wrong. Who was the giant in the pairing, the sire or the mom.

Super Giant X Super Giant = 100% Super Giant
Super Giant X Giant = 50% Super Giant / 50% Giant
Super Giant X Normal = 100% Giant
Giant X Giant = 25% Super Giant, 50% Giant, 25% Normal
Giant X Normal = 50% Giant / 50% Normal
