Red and yellow forms Ridgetail Monitor
breeder consensusnot a single gene
How red or yellow the ground colour is and how strongly the pale spotting shows. This follows the population an animal descends from rather than a gene, so pairing two red animals does not give a predictable proportion of red young.
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 and yellow forms 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.
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.
