Population and banding Common Wonder Gecko
How yellow or sandy the ground is and how strongly the dark banding shows across the back. Follows the population 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.
Population and banding 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 large scales of this gecko detach at a touch, tearing away with the skin beneath so a predator is left holding a patch. It regrows, but it means the animal should barely be handled — and a bare patch on a shop animal usually says something about how it was caught rather than about its health.
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.
