Subspecies Solomon Island Skink
How green or grey an animal is, how dark the banding, and eye colour. This follows which island population it came from rather than a gene.
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.
Subspecies 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. This species gives birth to a single live young, about a third the mother's length, after six to eight months — no eggs and no clutch. A female may produce one animal a year, which is why collection from the wild is so hard for the population to absorb, and why animals are on CITES Appendix II.
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.
