Breeding question

What colours would I get by breading my orange sandfire female to my gold sandfire x pastel male? Which are the most dominant colours?

In most cases the males genes will dominate.

There is no indictaion that males genes would dominate considering these are reptiles not birds.

Birds have feathers and the genetics are not the same as reptiles.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Interesting Dannylomb, how does that work? What percentages can one expect?

Outch.
lmga.
There is no way of knowing. I Guess you might get in a clutch of 15 maybe 2 having orange colors that might show at hatch and maybe 2 or 3 having yellow colors. Some might fade. Some normal looking might get GREAT colors and you have a 1 in 10239 chance of getting a special dragon that could begin a new genetic line. Like a red necked golden dragon. I would like one of them...Imagine...

Be sure to post some pics of you litlle ones. I assume they have breed and maybe even hatched by now. I would like to see what other guys and gals have.
Please!!!
Oh and best of luck with breeding.
Happy Herping.
