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.
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!
I just found your channel and I can honestly say you are my new favorite reptile youtuber! I just started getting into breeding and your videos have helped me so much!
Thanks for the video I’m really starting to understand it a lot more now it’s just the wording is different I use to breed frenchies so that helps with understanding this
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?
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
By far one of the most useful videos out there on crested gecko genetics imo.. easily summarised and understandable for anyone👏🏻
Glad to hear it!
For sure
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.
So glad I could help you understand it :)
Love this. Could you please provide visualization and examples next time?
Yes good point
Robby is the best !!
Thank you so much!

Aw I'm so glad! Thank you for kind words
Cool This will help a lot of people that are still learning about genetics
I hope so!
Very useful thank you 🙏
You're welcome!
Robby is the goat!!! Thank you for this video!
You're welcome :)
Great video, I feel so much more informed on genes
So happy to hear that!
Great video! 😊
Thank y9u!
What are the odds when breeding a 100% het axanthic lilly white to a 100% het axanthic.
Odds for what
@@robbysreptiles for axanthic lilly white
Why arent there albino cresties? Imagine those 👀!
Hasn't been discovered yet
Hey bro, thankyou for your explanation, This is very great video! Keep it up
Glad I could help
Super informative video man ‼️
Thanks!
Thanks for the video I’m really starting to understand it a lot more now it’s just the wording is different I use to breed frenchies so that helps with understanding this
Glad I could help
Very nice explanation! Enjoy all of your videos. Always very informative!
thank you for the video i have 1 more question for you what do you use to clean the plastic tub ?
Simple green :)
Wait, what's a luoc?
Love your work, btw, geckos and videos lol
Luwak is a sable cappuccino
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?
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
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
We love you 🥰
Aw thanks
gear in my brain moving high speed higher than me during my add math class rn
genetics blocking is quite interesting
