This is some pictures of my patternless yearlings.

Wow, that's pretty cool! I didn't realize that you could breed for that trait. How many generations did it take to produce them?

These were bred to have the reduced pattern by breeding two adults that had less pattern. Then I held back the ones with the most reduced patterns. They are now almost one year old.

It's really cool that you have sometime like tegus that you truly enjoy to dedicate your time to

We all need to find something like that.

They are not quite paternless Zeke, you're right.If you are new to this well what's going on is they are being matched in a way to breed out the patern. They will at some point become all one colour or another. This is a selective breeding process that is really common. What has to be watched is that they are only bred out of pattern and not made into albinos. An albino is a handicapped animal, lacking in skin pigments and usually affects the colour spectrum th albinos eye is capable of seeing. Since they are the first in their sub-species to be bred in this manner they can be called paternless.

oh okay. i am kinda new to selective breeding. when i hear patternless i think of something that has no pattern, all one color.

i think i understand what you mean now though. these are the start of a patternless project, they arent patternless but when bred together the babies will start to have less and less pattern right?

yuppers so by being the Adam and Eve of the new breed gives them the right to claim the name "paternless".
