Depends. If you get an enigma from it, £600+. If you only get a hypo tangerine or a normal, £10+.

im planning on buying (tomorow) a hypo carrot tail/albiano x giant and a enigma x giant hypo... how much for the both, and what would they make?!

As I just said, is the enigma x giant hypo an enigma or not? I presume not (unless you are spending well over £600 on it). If not, there is no chance you will produce any enigmas since it is a dominant morph.

The first gecko, do you mean that a HCT was crossed with an albino and then the offspring crossed with a giant. If so, the offspring will probably be normal or possibly hypo, and has a 50% chance of being a giant and a 50% chance of being het. albino. Wouldn't pay more than £50.

The second gecko is also likely to be a normal/hypo, and will also have a 50% chance of being giant. Again, around £40-50.

If either are definitely, or probably, giants (i.e. by shape/weight) then I would pay a little more.

As for what you get if you cross the two, most likely just normals and hypos. If one of them is a giant, you will also get 50% giants. If both turn out to be giants the offpsring will be 50% giants and 25% super giants (and 25% normal sized).

ok , so would the enigma not come out in any of the babies?

No. The enigma gene is dominant over the wild type (normal) gene, unlike, say, albino, which is recessive. So if the gecko has any enigma alleles (one or two) it will be an enigma. So there is no chance of getting enigma babies from a non-enigma. However, since it is dominant, you do only need one enigma parent to produce enigma hatchlings.

It's mum is an enigma.

He will be 0% enigma.

All of his babies will be 0% enigma.
