Cleaner pattern and enhanced orange tones

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Bright, complex patterns from Endler crosses.

Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express

Lightens pattern; super form is Black-Eyed Leucistic

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Contrasting color stripe/flame down dorsal (or along head/dorsum); body/legs may be base color.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.

Long dorsal stripe pattern mutation

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Not written up yet.

Pogona vitticeps: Recessive

Very dark, bold patterning, intense contrast.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Pogona vitticeps: Recessive

Yellowish coat color

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Random speckling; a pattern enhancer in combos.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Fine dot pattern on tail/fin.

Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express

Yellow Belly complex allele; combos create Highway with YB

Yellow Belly complex allele interactions (Freeway/Highway combos)

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

180-degree tail spread

Polygenic: Determined by multiple genes

High contrast between black/dark tones and orange; minimal white; a specific color combo trait.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.

Lots of pattern on dorsals, laterals, legs, high contrast; “extreme” means the pattern is very full, often connects along sides, etc.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.

Busy, swirly pattern, creates wild-looking combos.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

The Hypo (Hypomelanistic) gene is found in various animal species and reduces the amount of black (melanin) pigment, resulting in a lighter or washed-out appearance. It does not eliminate black pigment completely like albinism but creates a more muted colour.

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Wobbly neuro mutation with banded or jagged patterning; reduces black pigment

This gene is also linked to neurological problems in some individuals, which can manifest as a "wobble" or other issues. Jaguar × Jaguar is not viable — the homozygous form is lethal.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Marbled multi-color cell layer pattern

Polygenic: Determined by multiple genes

Reduction of dark pigments; orange enhancement

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Lavender/purple hue with lighter pattern

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Pale lavender/pink eyes variant of albinism

Recessive: Requires two copies to express
