RERS vs RAPTOR

[monkeygirl]

im pretty sure this is correct but someone is asking me so thought i would confirm with you guys;

RERS's produce RAPTORS and RAPTORs produce RERS right?

do RERS produce the same amount of RAPTORs as RAPTORs do?

does the stripe make and difference to the offspring?

RERS can produce Raptors, and Raptors can produce RERS.

Depends on the parents, normally breeding the "Patternless" ones together will give you more Raptors, and breeding RERS together will give you more RERS. I think breeding Raptor to RERS will give you less, than if you bred two of the same type together.


Then there are actually Aptors that look alot like Reverse Stripes, so there seems to be some confusion going around. This is my rule for deciding between the two. Does it have a full 100% Reverse Stripe from neck to tail? If not, it is NOT a Reverse Stripe, it is that simple.

What I mean by full and 100%: There are some with dotted, dashed, or non-connecting "reverse stripe" type patterns, and those are actually Aptors IMO. There are some real tricky ones, that look like they have a reverse stripe, but it is made up of many smaller dots, splotches, etc. that do not connect.

Here is a pic of what I am talking about. This gecko came from Aptor X "Patternless Red Stripe". She started out like a Reverse Stripe, then the pattern did this. Also here is a pic of the Aptor that started this project, so you can see how he could be mistaken for a Reverse Stripe.

these are the RERS in question

iv got someone who has paid deposits on 2 of these but now says he doesnt want them as they are RERS and he wants to have RAPTOR babies and i didnt know how much the reverse stripe would effect the oucome of the babies so im asking on here before i give him a definitive answer

I see. Well he could easily hatch both from either a RERS or Raptor, IMHO.
