Help with genetics

[BoyntonStylez]

Ok I plan on breeding Leos. The two Leos I have to breed is a male Midnight Blizzard (Leuestic) and a female Tremper Albino. What kinda of offspring will be produced? I also got a High Yellow, what will be produced if mated with the Tremper Albino?

Heres some pics...

By breeding the blizzard (yours is not a midnight) to the albino, all of your babies will be normal looking but het for albino and blizzard..... By breeding that hypo of yours to the albino you will get babies that can look normal, reduced pattern to maybe hypo and they will be het for albino.....

Reccomend getting the Leopard Gecko manual its a good, quick read and has alot about genetics in it, pretty cheap too.

I have got it and read through it 3-4 times, takes about 2 hours if your good at reading.

Gregg's right:) Midnight blizzards are very rare and are very dark grey to black. The shouldn't change to white, ever. For genetics you can use this site www.geneticswizard.com It's quick and easy to use. Good luck, breeding leos is a lot of fun!

Yea the whole genetics thing is sometimes hard to figure out LOL

Neat genetics site.

Genetics isn't difficult if you concentrate a bit :)

Genetic based traits (recessive or dominant, can produce "Hets"):
Normal
Albino
Patternless
Blizzard
Jungle
Striped
Reverse Striped
"Rainbow"
banana blizzard
blazing blizzard
midnight blizzard
patternless albino
Carrot-tail (though the % carrot is selectively bred)
"Hybino" and "Sunglow"


Line bred (Selectively bred, can not produce "Hets"):
hyper-melanistic
hypo-melanistic
tangerine
hypo-tangerine
snow
lavender
hi-yellow
tangello (tangerine patternless)
baldy


And just recently, Ron Tremper apparently corrected his previous statement that giant is recessive ... he now says's it's co-dominant. That makes way more sense with the results people have gotten when breeding their giants and supposedly making 'hets'.

The jury still seems to be out when it comes to

carrot-head
specific patterns in the spots (hearts, footprints etc)

Just a question - What's a rainbow morph? And does Pastel fall under Lavender?

[Tim and Julie B]

Rainbows are generally golden based and have greenish/olive, lavender and tangerine highlights. They are quite pretty:) Pastels often have lavender on their bodies, but aren't the same morph.
