Who is "THE" source for leopard gecko genetics?

Hi

For my own clarification I'd like to get a handle on which traits are recessive, etc in leopard geckos. I want to make a graphic similar to this:

Let N be the dominant allele for normal pigment.
Let n be the recessive allele for albino.
Parent phenotype Heterozygous Normal Heterozygous Normal
Parent genotype Nn X Nn
Gametes N n N n
Possible offspring genotype NN Nn Nn nn
Offspring phenotype Normal Normal Normal Albino
Ratio of phenotype 3 normal : 1 albino

I asked previously and got a partial answer, but I'd like to find out who in the leo world has this down pat so I can understand it completely.

Can someone point me in the right direction or is the group interested in contributing to come up with the complete picture?

Thanks in advance.

Terry
