I've read the other thread here where it's said that it can't be determined what morph a young crestie really is because of the colourchanges as it grows... But how to tell what morph your offsprings are? If the mother is a ... well, say a brown bicolor and the dad a tiger/brindle dal.... What would the offsprings be? Determined by the colour it develops or just a brown bicolor tiger/brindle dal?
That's what makes crested geckos fun to work with, you honestly won't know what the offspring will look like unless you have proven genetics from multiple generations of breeding from those specific lines. Just because you breed X to a Y doesn't mean you will get XY offspring. There are some traits that seem to more dominant than others such as dal spots. That trait seems very easy to inherit.

That's why it's important to carefully pick the animals you choose to breed. Usually if you pick animals that are the best examples of what your goal is you will hopefully reproduce some or all of what you are looking for in the hatchlings, but not always. You would think that breeding two high red geckos together would produce more high red geckos, it just doesn't always work out that way, at the same time you have a much better chance of producing more high reds than pairing a bucksin with a superdal and hoping for the same result. Hopefully that makes sense, I'm still kind of waking up.
