Default "Skunk stripe" Fat tail
Just a quick question, seems my Google-fu is lacking today. The "skunk stripe" seen in Fat tails, is this a predictable trait? Or just a random "pop up"?

think it's possible a recessive but one breeder (vmsherp) tried to breed stripe to stripe for all stripe but found they were still getting a percentage of banded so it looks as if it's not that straightforward

Skunk stripe is recessive.

Found information on JMGs site stating the stripe is dominant, which would explain stripe x stripe not producing 100% stripes (both parents must have been heterozygous for stripe)

If stripe is recessive, both parents must be homozygous for stripe to get 100% stripe offspring.
If stripe is dominant, only 1 parent must be homozygous for stripe to get 100% stripe offspring.

The only problem with that is people have bred skunk striped normal to normal.And got 100% normal offspring then bred the normals back.And got skunk striped normal and normal offspring.That is not the was of the Dominant.

So it could be like "false eclipse" in Leos? A random non predictable trait?

Result seem predictable so i'm thinking more of it being recessive and (vmsherp) more likely mix some eggs in the incubator for the result they got.
