tremper albino question

[poots]

my son has a leo who is tremper albino het eclipse. its father was a hypo tangerine carrot tail and mother was a jungle. what breed would be best to get my other son so they can enjoy a few sets of eggs?

my son has a leo who is tremper albino het eclipse.

I can guide you, with the help of google. But first, based on your sentence quoted above: This means that BOTH of his Leo's parent ARE Tremper Albino, but only ONE of his parents was "eclipse."

Google: "Leopard gecko genetics" for a basic understanding of "double-recessive genes". Basically, some genetics (like albino and "eclipse") require a hatchling to have inherited TWO recessive genes for a trait to be active/visible. If it only got ONE gene, then it is "Het" for that trait.

If it was me (and right now I actually AM doing this combo), I would pair it with a:

Tremper Albino blizzard eclipse: This makes some random hatclings "eclipse", but ALL hatchlings are double-recessive (visible/active) "Tremper albino", and ALL hatchlings are "het blizzard" (not visible, but one gene is present to spice up next years breeding with some random blizzards).

or just:

Tremper Albino eclipse: ALL are tremper Albino, and SOME are Eclipse...if they aren't Eclipse, then you atleast KNOW they are "het Eclipse" (one gene guaranteed from the "full Eclipse" Leo you haven't bought yet).

Also, it is imperative that you google "leopard gecko breeding", "leopard gecko incubation". LOTTTS of necessary knowledge if you haven't researched already. Otherwise you end up with bad eggs or major health problems.

this is the dad, mom, and him. tangerine het.raptor x jungle tremper albino were the parents sorry for the confusion.

If I'm understanding correctly, your son's gecko only has a 50% chance of being het eclipse, unless the mom was also het eclipse. Since the father was het raptor, there is no guarantee your son's gecko inherited that gene. In order to prove his genetics, I would pair him with a raptor female. If no offspring from that pairing end up as raptors, than you'll know that the gecko is not actually het raptor.

^^^ +1. I agree...good info. But I always like to clarify a few details just to be thorough and prevent any possibility of confusion (to the original poster and other readers).

-------------------

1) Remember that "het raptor" means that the offspring might get an "albino gene" and/ORRRRR might get an "eclipse gene" from that parent. Not guaranteed to inherit both. Both are required if you want a chance at getting a raptor (which requires the same recessive genes from the other parent).

2) 50% het eclipse means that it is a 50% probability of having 1 of the specific gene (usually means one parent was "het gene" and one parent did not carry that gene form).

3) So as samantha said, your son's leo would be identified as: "jungle Tremper-Albino, 50% het Eclipse."

-------------------------

Mating his "jungle tremper eclipse, 50% het Eclipse" to a "raptor" (Tremper albino Eclipse patternless) would likely produce the possible following:

(NOTE: "Tremper x Tremper" = ALL tremper albino hatchlings)
(NOTE: The 50% eclipse would be proven false or produce RANDOM Eclipse hatchling, which would confirm that 50% possibility as TRUE)

Tremper Albino jungles
Tremper Albino Eclipse jungles (aka "jungle raptor")
(and I don't think you would get true patternless Tremper Albino Eclipse "raptors")
