    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So I wanted to know if someone would be able to explain to me if there is a visual difference between a green iguana and a green iguana het Albino. Green iguana was just an example but does a het albino have an visual characteristics in case you buy it off someone and you don't trust that the iguana is het albino.

Thanks
Natalee
 
Maybe a mod can move this to the discussion forum.
To answer your question, heterozygous(het) for a recessive trait means the animal carries only one copy of a recessive gene. Two copies of a recessive gene are needed for the gene to express itself and be visually noticeable. When purchasing hets with the intention of breeding a visual in the future, make sure you are dealing with someone you can trust and can document the animal's genetics.
 
Thank you, I was just wondering because from my understanding, some ball pythons show some hint that they are..for example..het pied unless people just bs other people for more money. So I wanted to know if it was the same for iguanas also.
