Question about Raptors/Aptors

[hulker75]

So my understanding of Raptors is that it's basically a Tremper/Eclipse...assuming thats correct, what exactly is an aptor then? I know they lack the homo form of Eclipse removing the "R" from the name, but how does that make them different than a standard tremper albino? They definately stand out visually, but what genes make them different?

Patternless Stripe, Tangerine, Carrot-Tail genes along with a few others.

an aptor is an albino clipse you just lose the e when it dosent show pigment in the eye just kidding around

and aptor is just like a raptor with out the eye pigment

thanks for the link! So what kind of patternless gene is used?

 

[SaSobek]

patternless stripe not the murphys patty

patternless stripe is stripe X reverse stripe. making a gecko that shows both stripes, thus makeing it look "patternless"

My understanding came from the man who created them goes like this:

Aptor-Albino patternless Tremper orange

Raptor- Red eyed Albino patternless Tremper orange

Never heard of the patternless stripe but who knows I know it was The mans own line of patty not the Murphy, and it was the after breeding the aptor, That he stumbled on to the Raptor, all by sheer accident. But An aptor to me is basically a Raptor without the red eyes, every one I've seen carrys the gene for the Red eyed/eclipse eyed, But thats my experiance with it, if you really want to know buy the book By Ron Tremper, The Herpticulture of leopard geckos It tells the whole story on the creation of the morph''s'' hope this helps

We use the term Patternless Stripe, instead of causing confusion, by calling a "jungle-ish" patterned animal a patternless, when there is allready a morph called Patternless.

Patternless Stripe was the name given to what can only be described as a "non Albino Aptor". They came from Red Stripe X Reverse Stripe Albino, and were later proven to be the same as the Aptor/Raptor/Eclipsissinian genetics.

So now it is used to describe the pattern of an Aptor, and also as a morph name for a non-Albino Leo displaying it. As in Patternless Red Striped Eclipse.

To answer the question an Aptor is basically a het for Raptor. Raptor eyes are indeed the Albino expression of the Eclipse trait. The difference between an Aptor, and a normal Tang Albino is the patterning. "Patternless Stripe" is key to producing the Eclipse trait. In the same way that the "common" patterns were key in producing Patternless Stripe.
