Two genetic combo questions

[RyanJ]

Hey all, two quick questions for you.

1) If my male Blazing Blizzard and my female Rainwater Blazing Blizzard mate, what can I expect in their offspring? A mix, or is BB dominant to RWBB?

2) One of my rescue geckos came to me pregnant. She's put on good weight and shed twice, so I'm not worried about her health. I am curious as to what you'd get from mixing her (a mack snow, as far as I've been able to ID) and a high yellow male.

Thanks for any help, I'm on dial-up but will try to upload pics if necessary.

I wouldn't breed your male bb to your rw bb if you dont know if the male is also a rw. If he isn't a rw bb then you would only get normals all double het for rw and tremper. You wont really know what you will get from your rescue if you dont know her poss hets.

1. Ya, I wouldn't breed the BB and the RWBB- you would get all Blizzards het Tremper and RW- which are two separate albino genes that don't work together.

2. Snow x high yellow = 50% snows, 50% normals / high yellows.

I wonder if anyone's been able to get a RW and Tremper mix. I know double hets exist, but I wonder how two different homozygous albinos would work out.

Ha I cant believe I put you would get normals het tremper and RW. Of course you would get blizzards. Jeez...

Thanks for the help fellas. If breeding a BB to a RWBB isn't the best idea, what would I want to breed her (RWBB) with? Another RWBB?

yup. that works. it all depends on what you're trying to get out of it. sometimes there's an 'in-between' year you got to have.
