Question for those W/Y experts...

[GexPex]

Since my male is a low expression W/Y het Bell, it's been difficult determining the morphs of the offspring. The father hatched with a paradox spot and gained several more by the time he reached 1.5 years old, so maybe wait to see if the suspected W/Ys also get paradox spots? I would say that the two on the left are W/Y. All are from the same pairing, W/Y het Bell x Radar. What do the W/Y experts say?

I have quite a few w&y,s but I'm not an expert. One of my males is also low expression but he has thrown a few high expression. In my opinion maybe the one far left but don't see it in any of the others. Photo is not the greatest. Things to look for white nape of neck, pigment less spot at base of tail, high white sides, and line from nostril to eye, paradox spot (but in my experience these come later in life), reduced patern, and head patern usually seem faded

I have a low expression male as well and the group of babies I got from him looks a lot like the mix you've posted. I am selling them as normals (meaning no w/y but some are albino too) since I don't see any strong characteristics in any of them save one. Yours don't looks w/y either. I'm thinking the gene isn't a dominant gene like it is claimed to be.

I'd love to see your low expression animals. I got exactly 50% w/y from one pairing last season and then 100% w/y from another pairing. Maybe the gecko gods smiled on my for once, but it is a dominant.

Can you get better pics of the two on the left? I'm thinking maybe the second to the left possibly, but it's really hard to tell. Side shots could help, too, because of the high white sides. I don't see anything on the three right ones that make me think w/y. Just not sure on the other two.

Far left 2 could be, but top views aren't really what I go by for verifying w/y. I look for high white sides, reduced tail markings also, white line from nostril to eye.

The line from nostril to eye is not white. I bump an old thread with the best description it's w&y characteristics
