Hi I live in Florida and have 2 cherry heads 1 66% hypo red foot and 1 Sulcata. Now they are all small still but growing well. My question if anyone has an answer to it is when my hypo red foot reaches adult age is it possible for it to breed to make a 100% hypo red foot? Or is it from genes?

Simple answer is if u breed ur 66% het hypo with a visual hypo.. you will have a 66% chance to produce visual hypos and the others will be 100% het hypos

Thank you soo much I’ve done research but wasn’t really sure before adopting the little one who was in a group of regular red foots which I like all the same I just saw the difference in the tortoise and didn’t know what it was.
