Quote:
I have a male translucent that was bred to an Italian leatherback.
I now have 2 clutches that are more than 50% translucent.
My question is, is the trans gene dominate?
Some of the babies are also hypo.
does that mean both parents are het for hypo?

For you to have produced trans from this pairing your leatherback must also have been het for trans. Although around 50% of the clutch would typically be translucent, that number is not set in stone. Sometimes more than 50% will be trans, sometimes less.
And yes, both parents must have been het for hypo for you to have produced hypos from this pairing.
Hope that helped.
