Natural variation Red-eyed Crocodile Skink
How bright the orange eye-ring is and how dark the body. This varies between individuals and with condition, and no single-gene morph has been established in this species.
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.
Natural variation 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. Red-eyed crocodile skinks are still largely wild-caught and are bred in captivity in small numbers, so no morph scene has developed. Anything offered as a morph in this species is describing an individual animal rather than a gene it would pass on.
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.
