Patternless Fat Tail Geckos
The Patternless fat tails we have been working with have been proved out to be a simple recessive trait. We proved them out in late 2007 by breeding heterozygous Patternless together and by breeding some of the heterozygous back to a few of our unrelated Patternless stock. Currently our main objective with this morph is to breed it into our White Outs in order to make a White Out Patternless. We are currently working with three different blood lines of wild caught Patternless Fat Tails (all are compatible with one another), and this has been a big help to keep our Patternless stock out bred and very strong. This is a great morph with tremendous potential. We will be releasing heterozygous Patternless along with actual Patternless Fat Tails very soon.
All of our Patternless Fat Tails are unrelated to any other Patternless Fat Tails out there! They are all bloodlines that JMG has derived from wild caught specimens!
January 4th, 2009: After years of test breeding Patternless Fat Tails we have found that the patternless mutation is lethal when crossed with the albino. There are no complications with the actual patternless morph, but when crossed into the albino the offspring usually die in the egg and the cross also results in severely deformed and extremely weak babies. Unfortunately, the patternless albino fat tail will not be able to be created due to the lethal incompatibility with the two recessive traits. Unless another strain of albinism is discovered it is currently impossible to make the cross.
This is also why we have waited so long to release the Patternless Fat Tails. We did not want to release any until we could prove if it was possible to make the Patternless Albino. After three years of attempts with three different Patternless males and over twenty different Albino females, along with attempts at crossing Patternless with Het Albinos, we have concluded that the recessive combination is fatal. We do not want our customers to be disappointed, so we chose to hold back our stock until we could be sure in what we are selling.
