PLS GIVE ME ANY INFO YOU CAN ON REPTILE GENETICS. IF NOT POST ANYWAY:hammer:

[GECKOMAN]

PLEAS!

[Matt]

geckoman, please do not post replys to your thread saying "please" to get people to answer.
if people have an answer they will give it, saying please in a second post just spams our forums and doesnt help your thread.

thank you for your co-operation!

SORRY

Perhaps you might get more response if you asked a specific genetics question -- was there something in particular you had in mind for breeding together?

Reptile genetics are the same as all genetics.

The following pertains to simple recesive mutations

Each animal has two sections to a gene, called allele's (sp.)
These alleles can be either normal or mutated
If both alleles are normal, the animal will appear normal
If one allele is normal, and one is mutated, the animal will appear normal, but have the ability to make mutated offspring
If both alleles are mutated, the animal will show the mutation.

Normal animals are called wild type or homozygous normal
With one mutated allele they are called heterozygous or het
With both allels mutated they are called a morph or homozygous for whatever the morph is.

Normal x normal = all normals
normal x het = 50% normal, 50% het
normal x morph = 100% het
het x het = 25% normal, 25% morph, 50% het
het x morph = 50% het, 50% morph
morph x morph = 100% morph

Co-dominant genetics is the same, but the hets look different than the normals, and the morphs are even more differant then the hets.
