thanks

there are currently 3 strains of albino in leopard geckos. Tremper Albino, Rainwater Albino (aka Las Vegas), and Bell Albino, none of which causes the animals to be orange. All of which are recessive.

the orange or "tangerine" coloration is the result of linebreeding the albino animals for orange color or crossing them to linebred tangerine leopard geckos, if not both.

ok so it is line bred right?
thanks chad

What Chad is saying is that, albino is a recessive trait and that tangerine is a line bred trait... therefore a tangerine albino is a linebred and recessive trait. Hope that makes sense.

what i was thinking is you know albino mack snow... could you make a tangerine albino mack snow. So i know nothing let me know if its possible or wat
thanks

could you make a tangerine albino mack snow

a tangerine is hypererythristic and a snow is anerythristic. they would cancel each other out. you would end up with yellow snows and the super form would just look like a normal snow, i.m.o.

but mack snow is a bizarre morph. maybe thiers more to it than just being anery. maybe its not anery...maybe its axanthic or something different all together.

so tangerine in an albino form would be considered polygenetic?

yes and the non albino form.

i'm finally starting to understand the genes but I'm starting to think that the Aptor form isn't a Recessive gene and I think that it is a Polygenetic.

Line Bred / Selectively Bred / Polygenetic are all the same thing
