Is this morph co-dominant or recessive? Cause I have seen some geckos labeled as het stingers. Thank you.
There is a lot of confusion to some but it's a co-dominant trait not recessive.
Not completely accurate... The jury is still out and untill JMG shares their breeding data we will not have a definate answer.
If this is the case than Stinger/zero = Highly variable marker that is attached to the Recessive Patternless line. (Similar to Het Pied Ball Pythons)

According to breeding trials by Ohio Gecko, the trait has been working in a recessive mannor with non visual stinger/zero producing "Super" or Homozigous patternless animals. If this is the case than Stinger/zero = Highly variable marker that is attached to the Recessive Patternless line. (Similar to Het Pied Ball Pythons)
If it was like a het Pied you would be saying breeding het Pied to Het Pied gives you Pieds and Super Pieds.....
If anything, it should be the Super Zero/Stinger (homozygous form) that should be considere recessive, not the Zero/Stinger.
I wonder if I can make Super Duper Zeros when I breed Super Zero to Super Zero?
It's still Co-Dom.....Agreed, The "patternless" form would be recessive with the Hets having substantial markers. And other hets not having markers at all.
That won't happen, you'll get het pieds...
If it was like a het Pied you would be saying breeding het Pied to Het Pied gives you Pieds and Super Pieds.....
Zero(het Patternless) x Zero sib(normal looking/Het patternless) = Super Zero(patternless) Zero (het patternless) and normals.
This is what i believe Ohio Gecko is experiancing.
If i am so wrong than how do you geneticly explain Zero x Normal producing a Super???
I don't work with these guys, for various reasons, but I would have to say that they are Co-dom based simply on basic genetics. David bred visual to visual and got some animals that were not visuals. That wouldn't happen if you breed a visual Zulu to Zulu (which are recessive), you would get ALL Zulu's. That's how it works. I have yet to see a recessive morph produce a super form. It just doesn't work that way and to claim that all of a sudden these animals are recessive and are creating supers is mind boggling….and confusing people. If this were the case, then there would be Super Ghosts, Super Zulus, Super Patty's and in the Ball Python world, we would have Super Clowns, Super Albinos, Super Pieds, etc, etc……
As cool as that would be, it just doesn't make sense genetically. Sorry, but if they are producing Super forms, they are Co-dom. I don't see why it's even being discussed.
