Red Eye Gene

[snakewrangler]

I was reading the "Muddy Waters" sticky yesterday and the common consensus seems to be that it is not a good idea to cross albino lines. That's fine with me. I've never done it and never planned to do it.

My question is...how did the RADAR morph get created? The gene for red eyes had to be combined with the Bell albino. So did the creator of this morph start with a RAPTOR, or did he/she have access to a red-eyed animal that was not a Tremper albino or het Tremper?

Are the RADARS het Tremper by default?

I think like the RAPTORS that they combined the Eclipse gene with the bell to create Radars now how many generations of doing so to get it successful i have no idea. i dont know if im right or not but i think thats how it was created

There is no red eye gene, the red eyes come from the combination of the eclipse gene and an albino gene.

RADAR bells have NO tremper albino in them, they are created by breeding an eclipse that has been PROVEN to be not het albino mated with a bell albino, crossing the offspring results in a percentage of radar bells(bell albino eclipses)
any morphs that are combined with radar bells need first to be proven not to be het tremper or else when offspring are crossed and you produce albino's how will you tell if they are tremper or bell,

Ideally that is the case, but unfortunately not all breeders are so scrupulous.

buy from reputable breeders then,

That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks!
