Genetic Stripes question...

[fireReptiles]

What would I get if I breed Striped with Reverse Striped?
Are they still going to produce some kind of Stripes?
I know stripes are polygenetic traits.
but, has anyone done this before?

Yes it's been done. That's where the "P" in A.P.T.O.R.s and R.A.P.T.O.R.s come from, Patternless. You'll get some stripe and reverse stripes, and if you're lucky a patternless.

Here's a thread I started a while back asking for pictures of some.

Thanks for the link Felicia.
It's going to be exciting to breed stripes..

You're welcome, Al, glad to help.

Stripe X Reverse Stripe can give you any pattern. From Red Stripe X Reverse Stripe Albino, we hatched Jungles, Stripes, Reverse Stripes , and "Patternless Stripes" which may be the same as APTOR- Patternless.

Here is one of the best 'Patternless Red Stripes' who is Het for Albino, of course.

I agree. Stripe to reverse-stripe will give you a suprise with every hatchling!

I've been looking at the pictures of the patternless stripes and I can't tell how they are different from hypo- or super hypo tang except for the stripe in the tail. Is that the difference?

 

[groovygeckos]

The striped tail is part of it. We are talking about these coming from Stripes, Jungles, and Reverse Stripes, which normally have tons of pattern. 'Patternless Stripes', do not. Just like the APTOR, it is a combination of linebred-Hypo and a 'new' pattern. Actually a 'new' lack of pattern.

 

[groovygeckos]

Also Hypo /Super Hypo Tangerines hatch with a usually banded pattern. Patternless Stripes hatch without much pattern or the pattern is broken and 'dashed'. Much of any pattern on them is also Hypo-ed out as the gecko matures.

Thanks for clearing that up.
