Tangerine Genetics?

[Carinata]

Is tangerine a selectively bred trait or something that can be inherited. I saw a "super tangerine" patternless on JMGs site. Is that really a co-dominant trait?

The Tangerine color is a selectively bred trait. The Ray Hine line Super Hypos (aka Super Hypo Carrot Tail) are a dominant trait.

Oh ok. We are talking AFTs right? Then why is JMG marketing his Tangerine Patternless as Super Tangerine Patternless. It makes it sound like its a super co-dominant recessive.

The term "Super Tangerine" was just used to describe an EXTREMELY Bright Tangerine Patternless.. Thats all lol

OOPS I thought this was in the leo forums, sorry guys.

Lol no problem Kelli, however, now that you are here (and sorry I'm going OT here David)...is it possiable to allow editing here on the Fat Tail sections of GeckoForums?

Ahh I see. So, hypothetically I could create super tangerine albinos, bandeds, etc

You can produce nice Tangerines and label then "Nice" Tang or "Bright" Tang, or whatever you feel fits the gecko you have or are trying to sell.

Tangerine is a line bred trait

Ok, I understand now.
