The Red Gene

I have the opportunity to pick up a 0.1 Red Gene, at what I believe is a very good price. I don't know much about it though and WOBP was less than helpful. I found some older thread on BP.net so I have some basic information, but they are dated. Any more info out there? Is it worth working with?

Thanks,

Dave

I'm still new to this so maybe someone else will chime in but what I generally do is compare prices with morph market to see if it's close.

I'm not worried about the price. I'm looking for more information about the gene itself

There is not a lot of info out there. It originated in Ralph's collection and was pretty tightly intertwined with the Blackhead. As people have started working more with that project they have found that some of the animals produced (both BH and non) tend to have a higher degree of that sort of burnt red colour to them and that it looks to potentially be heritable in at least a dominant-type manner.

That's what I've found out as well. WOBP also has it listed as a Dominant gene, but no picture. As it is, I ended up purchasing the girl. She's north of 700g, so I have a while to figure all this out. From what I am told, and I have no reason to doubt, she's pure Red Gene and comes from a line of animals that their keepers have been able to isolate the genetics so there is no Blackhead involved. Is it a shot in the dark that anything earth shattering will come of this? Of course. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity though. Who knows what it'll look like with the right combo? Only time will tell I suppose. Till then I'll keep researching it and see what is out there.

Well keep us posted with what you find out and on her progress 😀

So no pics?

I'm also pretty interested in seeing some pics. :)

I'm picking her up tonight. I'll post pics over the weekend.

She's home. I'll put the shots of her in the pictures section.
