Green and belly colour Oriental Bell Toad
How green the back is and how red or orange the belly. This varies with individual, diet and condition, and the back also darkens and lightens with temperature and mood.
How it is produced
- Where it comes from
- This is not a single gene. It is produced by choosing which animals to breed, over generations.
- What that means for breeding
- No offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Green and belly colour is produced by selective breeding over generations, not by a single gene, so no offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Worth knowing. The red belly this species is named for is a warning display — the toad arches to show it — and its depth depends partly on diet and condition rather than on ancestry alone. No single-gene morph has been established.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
