Question about APTOR, Eclipse & Red eyes...

[WoWo]

I've made google searches but didn't find any answer. Which morph do you breed to get an APTOR? Is this morph linked to the Eclipse trait? Last thing : Red eye = Eclipse on Albino?

This is a great website to check out the history of each morph. I just put the RAPTOR link because there is an explanation on APTOR there as well. Hope it helps!RAPTOR - Leopard Gecko Wiki

The original RAPTORS were patternless eclipse Tremper albinos. The patternless trait came from stripe and reverse stripe gene combo that the eclipse gene was found from. The ones around nowadays are eclipse and Tremper albino but not necessarily patternless. Geckos called APTORS should be a combo of the original patternless look of Tremper albino without the eclipse gene. Most, however, tend to be het or possible het for eclipse as the easiest (or possoibly only?) way to make them true to form is from RAPTORs.

A patterless look can also come from the hypo gene but I would think APTORS should not have this gene mixed in to be called an APTOR.

APTORS are combo of patternless termper but the orange... Where is it coming from?

 

[DrCarrotTail]

Selective breeding.

Thanks for your answers, a question still remains "Red eye = Eclipse on Albino?"

Correct. The eye is red due to no black pigmentation and since the eclipse gene yields black eyes, red replaces it.
