Hi,
for those who don't remember the story:
In 2003 I hatched 2 Hypo females from a Super Hypo Tangerine (Ray Hine Line) x wild caught pairing. The following years all the babies of this pairing were Hypos.
This year, I paired the two Hypo females I hatched out in 2003 with a High Yellow male to find out if the Ray Hine Hypo gene is co-dominant, or dominant, or something totally different.
Some days ago the clutches of the High Yellow x Hypo Tangerine (03) hatched. The clutches of both female hatched.
And that's what the babies look like:
In each case one Hypo Baby and one High Yelow Baby hatched out:
(an ugly one
....but a Hypo for sure)
The High Yellows:
A comparison of the four. As you can see, the High Yellows have a real black, the Hypo bands have the typical Hypo-look.
So it seems like the Ray Hine Hypo gene works like a co-dominant or dominant gene. But how to find out if it is dominant or co-dominant?
Because in both cases I can hatch out Hypo or normal/high yellow from pairing High Yellow with the '03 Hypo holdback females.
