A Few Questions???

I have a few questions to ask. I just got in an order of 3000 giant mealworms and was wondering how long they will be good for if kept in the fridge? I feed my leos crickets, waxworms and sometimes pinkys. So the meal worms should last me a while. Should I keep feeding the mealworms to gid rid of them faster or will they be ok for a while? Also what is a good digital cam that takes good pics and doesnt cost an arm and a leg? I recently got a refurbished chameleon but the flash already went out so I may just get a different one (new). My last question I have a Tangerine Tremper that is het for SHTCTB & I am going to be getting a male SHTCT het Albino. Will these produce me Hybinos if so what is the % that will be? I am not to great with all that genetic stuff , its like another language, but Im beggining to catch on. Someone reffered me to geneticswizard.com I think it was and I was so lost. Thanks

I think mealworms can last couple motnsh int he fridge without any problems, they have last for me for 3-4 weeks with just few dieing. I love my camera Fuji finepix S602 I think its goign for 3-400 now but I got it for 670 when it was just comming out. As far as you tang tremper seeing how super hypo is line bred trait "I" be I think your chances at producing hybinos will be better with a super hypo to super hypo. I might fing this out first had as I might breed one of my tang albino females to my super hypo het albino on top of the female I have set aside for him.

I use a Kodak Easyshare DX4530, I'm not sure what the retail value is, but I got mine off ebay for about $200.

its is a shctb het for tremper albino ? or is it at albino itself ?

I have both. I have one that is an albino itsself het shtct and 2 that are shtctb het tangerine albino. So if I was to cross these I would get double hets? Then if I bred them I would get some or all hybinos?

the albino ! the "super hypo" "tangerine" and or" carrottail" are only line bred traits ! so an albino or any actual "het" crosses with a het for albino will give you %50 albino and %50 het albino some of the babies can or will show the colors(linebred) or be "hypos" or "supers" (also selectively bred for)

So it would be better if I was to have 2 of the same. Like 2 tangerine albinos het SHT or 2 SHTCTB het albino? If this is the case what would the rate of hybinos be then? So if I have a SHTCTB het Albino male and female would they produce some hybinos or would I first have to produce double hets? Also I always see people saying 50% het, 100% het and other percentages, what is the percentage of a double het? This stuff is pretty confusing to me but I think Im catching on.

Aaron, you can't have a gecko het for SHTCTB. The term het only applies to recessive traits, which would be all the albino strains, jungles/stripes, blizzards, and patternless. Every other morph is line-bred, which means that both of the parents need to have certain characteristics and (ideally) be closely related in order to have offspring that are more likely to express and perhaps improve those characteristics.

As far as the percentages, they refer to the possiblity of a het. 50% het means there's a 50% chance of them being het. Basically, there can be different combinations of traits that can get passed down to the children, so it's hard to tell which babies are born possessing het traits if just one of the parents was het, because, well, it's het. You can't see it. The only way to prove it is to breed them.

Ohohoh, funny story. In my high school biology class, in order to explain genetics, my teacher arranged a project where we got paired up boy-girl. The point was to compare our physical features to determine what our children would look like, and then we had to draw a picture of our predicted children. I'm Chinese, and I got paired up with this redhead kid. Neither of us took the project seriously when we drew our daughter, and we ended up having the ugliest kid you could imagine! She had darkish hair, freckles, a pignose, braces... I blamed it on the redhead kid.

So if I have a pair of Tang Albinos that has the gene or trait (still a little confused) of SHTCT or an Tang Albino X SHTCT. If they were bred to each other would their offspring express the chacteristics of the SHTCT? So basicaly I want to know what is my best bet at producing some hybinos? Should I work with the SHTCTB het Tang Albino? Or can I also produce some from a Tang Albino X SHTCT? Im starting to understand more and more but still not completly. Also so if somthing is 100% het that means that all offspring will show the characteristics or all offspring will be hets? Also if I breed my Patternless Albinos to my blizzards I will get hets Right? What would the percentage be? Then If I bred those what would it be and so on? So all in all how many generations would it take for the trait or chacteristics to come out? Would I have to make hets then 25% het, 50%het and so on? Also what is a double het? Would the double hets produce more hets or show the traits and characteristics? Im starting to confuse myself so Ill stop for now.

Funny story LOL. I know at the L.A County Fair there is a machine you can pay to have your picture taken with someone else and it will print a picture of what your kids will look like. Its just basicaly takes one of the chins and someones nose and the others ears and just mixes it all up. But Ill tell you one thing if everyones kids looked like the pictures that come out I dont think anyone would be having children or at least I wouldnt lol.
