One pairing this year I'm going to try and prove out a reduced pattern female I got. I'm trying to get peoples opinion on her and whether or not she will create reduced pattern offspring. I have her paired her with a lemon pastel currently because I want some combo that will definitely show me some reduced patterning. Anyone have any success with reduced pattern balls? My top projects I have currently are (axanthic spider x axanthic pastel), caramel glows 1/16th chance (fingers crossed), and hopefully firebees (fire spider x pastel). Also breeding pure Manokwari local GTPs and some Blue Tree Monitors I'm hoping to breed. All the balls have locked up, but I'm really curious about this reduced pattern girl. Thanks for any comments.

My experience with lemon to reduced pattern is that the babies still come out busy patterned. Other than what I KNEW was genetic reduced pattern (my Jolliff Tiger), my reduced patterns have not proven to be genetic.
Potentiality is definitely present for a reduced pattern to pop up, but same as what was mentioned before busy patterns will be popping up. Keep us posted on them, and pics when the little ones hatch.
