Hi-
Isn't it true that if you breed two tangerine animals you could get 100%
normal offspring? And breeding two "het for tangerine" will not breed 25%
tangerine offspring?
I don't think that labeling any color trait or pattern- like jungle or
circleback or high yellow or tangerine as a breedable trait is an accurate
representation. Its misleading because breeding the animals cannot produce
predictable results. What is the single recessive gene for tangerine? I don't
know all about the xx,yy,Xy's and xY's stuff from college I admit, so maybe
our biology professor wouldn't mind explaining (simply) to us laymen- Greg
you out there?
I even think that many of the so called "albino" aren't even albino.
I saw 1.3 albino leopards for sale on kingsnake that weren't even close to
being albino.
I'd like to see a more scientific definition of what makes a leopard albino.
