i think some people care while other people mix it up.


if you breed mojave male to lesser female or mojave female to lesser male, the clutch will be the same, with the same odds.

i can only think of two exceptions: desert, where the female is infertile. And banana / coral glow, because its sitting on the sex-determining chromosome pair.

male coral glow to regular female: all male offspring will be het coral glow, all female offspring would be visible coral glow.
male normal to female coral glow: all male offspring will be het coral glow, all females will be normals.
male het coral glow to regular female: the males will be 50% het coral glow, half of the females will be regulars and half of the females will be visible coral glow.

here the females need the gene only once to be visible coral glows, normal-looking female het coral glow doesnt exist, homozygous female coral glow doesnt exist.

but apart from that, i think too many people mix it up and write female x male instead, so i wouldnt rely on it.
