Normal + Tangerine Carrottail

[DannyCrazy4Geckos]

I'm not too experienced with gecko genetics. Does someone have an idea of what I might get if I bred my normal phase male gecko with my tangerine carrottail female?

You will get all normals. Im not sure if tangs are recessive but if they are you will get hets for tang.

Tang is a line-bred trait as far as I know.

"Tangerine Carrottail" is a poly genetic trait; meaning it is neither dominant or recessive, only the right combination of genes will give you a tangerine. Breeding your normal to your tang will result in all normal looking leos NOT "het" for tang. The tangerine gene seems to act like a recessive, but in fact it is not. Only line breeding will bring back the tangerine phenotype. In other words, your best bet is just to get a tangerine male if you plan on breeding. Best wishes and Good Luck!!!

yes tang is line breed you will get babbies that will be anywhere between normal looking and tang. probably somewhere in the middle.

I think you would get normal looking babies, but some would have some nice, orange coloration!
