Talking A little help on genetics please

Ok, I have my eye on a male super hypo het tremper/bell whos parents are:
Mother: Enigma het bell
Father: Tangerine carrot head

What are the chances, if any of this baby producing an enigma baby?. If there's no chance of enigmas, what could he produce and what would he need to be bred with to make these?

Thanks

The chance of him producing Enigmas with a non-Enigma partner are 0%. Enigma is dominant and shows on any animal carrying the gene, so if he doesn't look Enigma, he can't make them himself either.

Where are you getting the het Tremper and Bell from? Best I can see is that he is possible het Bell albino (mum is only het, not homozygous, which means she has a chance to pass it on, but is not guaranteed to) ... is Dad a Tangerine Carrothead Albino? That'd be the Tremper there.

If his sire was a Tremper albino, you could produce Tremper Hybinos with him - just pick Tremper Albino partners.

I'm just quoting the names which the person selling him has provided, I know very little about gecko genetics- hence why I am posting this question.
Thanks

I did say - the only thing you could pretty much guarantee is Tremper Hybinos (if dad's a Tremper albino) or Hypos.

Ssthisto is right, and if the mother of your gecko is only het for bell then your leo may well not be het at all for bell, i think its a 50% chance that he could be het bell and he'll be 100% het tremper

as to how to make an enigma, you need to buy an enigma, benjrobinson has tremper enigma females for sale in classifieds and they're realy realy good money
