Why couldn't the carrottail gene be simple recessive?

...so I wouldn't have to spend all these years trying to consistently produce carrottails!! =)

I got lucky with my eclipse/patternless stripe project because it took less than five generations, but my hypo tangerine/carrottail project has been going on for almost a decade!

jon just look how long it has taken albey to get full carrottails like yours. a LONG time! with a lot of hard work!

You've done an amazing job!!!

You cant be too bummed about it because you are still producing some amazing geckos Jon.

Those are beautiful geckos you have there. Keep up the hardwork; Iam in awe what you seasoned breeders are producing.

Thanks everyone!

True true, I remember the excitement I had when I first purchased "golden hypos" from Albey many years ago. This was wayyy before the Ray Hine carrottail line/hypo or tangerine lines even existed! These were yellow geckos with just hints of orange on the tail that cost hundreds of dollars! It's amazing how far leopard geckos have developed!
