Lemon Pastel X Normal=??????

I am looking at buying a lemon pastel baby girl. I currently have a normal male. By chance does anyone have an idea of what the outcome would be?

Go to this link, and just replace albino with lemon pastel

Thanks, looks like you had same question....

Nope...doesn't quite work that way. Pastel is a dominant trait, while albinoism is a recessive. I don't know much about the "lemon" part...but if you mate a Pastel with a normal, you'll get, on average 1/2 of your clutch as pastels and 1/2 as normals.

well there you go

Thanks

But thanks for the vote of confidence anyway. :) It only applies to recessive traits tho. If you ever see anyone offering a "het pastel" or "het spider" RUN, RUN AWAY!

Or a het mojave while we're on it...You'd be suprised how many scammers there are out there....Oh, and here is a link to all the traits that are recessive and the ones that are dom/co-dom as we know them to be right now:

Recessive: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/gen...recessive.html
Double recessive: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/gen...recessive.html
dominant/co-dominate: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/genetics_codom.html

Just scroll down on those pages and you'll find the "list". It's nice, because they also explain how those genes work.

Good point and good links!

Definitely good links. Can we add those to the "Links" on the homepage?
