Great video man. I felt pretty smart about biology and genetics until I got into geckos and all the het percentages made my brain want to implode. Your explanation helps so much.

Yes good point

By far one of the most useful videos out there on crested gecko genetics imo.. easily summarised and understandable for anyone👏🏻

Interesting video; I just came across your content. I am trying to learn more about geckos. My daughter really wants a pet gecko. My degree is in Animal Sciences, and I currently teach high school biology. Sorry to be presumptuous, but it seems like genetics is something you are still learning about, so I wanted to share some information that might help you. There are actually four types of dominance: 1st Complete dominance, 2nd incomplete dominance, where both genes are independently expressed, and what seems to be in a random order. 3rd is codominance, where the expression of the heterozygous is in between the homozygous, such as a white and red flower mix to make a pink flower. 4th is overdominance, which is where the heterozygous outperforms either homozygous; this is most common in livestock breeding when selecting for higher muscling. These types of traits are relevant to simply inherited traits, not quantitative traits such as birth weight and mature adult size. Also, have you considered line breeding? Line breeding is a form of inbreeding. However, the principle of "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares." Proper line breeding should have a higher heritability/genetic similarity with a lower inbreeding coefficient. An example of the program is to breed one male to four different females. Then, make two pairs of the f1 generation. Finally, you will get a pair out of the f2 generation that will produce offspring extremely genetically similar to the original male but will have an inbreeding coefficient of less than 12.5%. This strategy may be useful for you to increase the desired breeding stock. sorry much longer comment than I expected.

I was really interested in biology and genetics in highschool but never pursued it. My husband recently got into crested geckos and it re sparked that area of my brain! Im still so rusty in all the new terms and possibilities but i am so exicted to learn more! This video was so helpful (but visuals wouldve been helpful^^,) thanks for the video!

Hey bro, thankyou for your explanation, This is very great video! Keep it up

your video is very informative! i wanted to ask i have a visual axanthic and i want to breed at lily white(non axanthic) to it. will it make 100% het or 50% het?

@robbysreptiles

All will be 100% get for axanthism

I've been really thinking about those pinkies from mack. What do you think? Is it a very high expression hypo super capp or did they do the super lilly somehow with capp gene perhaps

@robbysreptiles

It's probably another gene that creates pink geckos. It isn't translucent like super caps. But has black eyes.

There are pink cresties with black eyes?! I've seen pink ones but I assumed they were just fired down reds. They didn't have black eyes though. Wow

What are the odds when breeding a 100% het axanthic lilly white to a 100% het axanthic.
