Red intensity Madagascar Day Gecko
How much red the back and head carry and how deep the green ground is. Built up by choosing the most strongly marked animals over generations rather than by a gene, so no offspring percentage applies.
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.
Red intensity 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. A day gecko darkens, pales and shifts colour with temperature, light and mood, so the same animal photographed twice can look like two lines. What a breeder selects is how much red an animal is capable of showing, not a fixed appearance.
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.
