Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would never accuse Ron Tremper of being a 'liar'... I just think he flat-out doesn't know!

How about this:
Someone tell me each and every known/identifiable trait that contributes to the RAPTOR morph.
Someone tell me the genetics behind each trait, are they inheritable, simple recessive, codom, etc...
Someone please then tell me what a 'het' RAPTOR would look like and what traits it would carry.
Someone please take this a step further and tell me what the odds are of producing a RAPTOR by breeding two 'het' RAPTORs together.
Thank you.

Well hopefully the aptor puzzle isnt too complex, we're currently breeding our male we recieved from A&M to quite a few females, we had many different types not involved in current pairings so we'll attempt every combination we can possibly think of.... Just for the hell of it.....
We will see what pops out, and what happens when they are bred back to the original male. Who knows.... Someone's gotta do it....

I am not anti - Ron Tremper. I have great respect for the man. I would however expect everyone of these questions and a few others answered by him in writing before I would purchase an APTOR or a RAPTOR. After the great giant debacle I would expect that he would want to make sure he has proven out this morph so that there would be no doubts. Then again maybe not. Great post Steven. Things that make you go hmmmm.

I respect the man for his work and accomplishments with Leopard Geckos, no doubt about it.
As for business\correspondence... well... thats another matter all together.

only ron can answer at this point .
but its a "carrothead","carrottail ", "super-tangerine" (hypo) , "patternless" , "giant" or normal - albino , w/ "ruby-eyes" (if its a RAPTOR). ALL said to be "mutations" . had to have a "P" in it to have the name ,right ? . not a patternless IMO since it has a striping and reverse-stripe pattern . but even patties have patterning to them when they are younger . i sorta like the name , and feel he deserved the right to call it whatever he likes , since they ARE almost without a pattern UNLESS the "patternless" is not recessive . ron has had this "patternless gene" for quite some time , and from his projects page ,was being used in this one , the blue- albino , and his SNOW project as well as the Ruby-eyes . before it was simply called "hypo- patternless orange" and the new name just gives it more interest i think .

Okay so you listed 6-7 traits that Tremper calls "mutations" Are all the traits assumed to be recessive? Prior to Giant I don't believe Ron has claimed any trait to be codom.
So what exactly is a "het" RAPTOR? How much does one sell for?
6-7 recessive traits.... an animal that is "het" for RAPTOR doesn't sound all that appealing to me.
het x het gives a 1 in 4 chance of producing a homozygous animal.
With 6 traits this equates to.... 1 in 4120 chance of producing a RAPTOR from an animal that is het for all the traits involved in producing a RAPTOR
Now granted you may consider that to make purchasing a RAPTOR a great investment, given the rarity that we are theorizing it also means that it is virtually impossible to outcross.... How do you introduce unrelated bloodlines, when you know you won't produce another RAPTOR from outcrossing until you've hatched thousands of eggs. There's no financial return on it, and small time breeders won't see 4000 eggs in their lifetime likely!
So no one will outcross
