Why Breeders Lose Money on Cappuccino Pairs
Cappuccino x Cappuccino sounds like a sure thing. It isn't. Here's why the incomplete-dominant math burns breeders, and which pairing strategy actually pays.
TL;DR: Cappuccino is incomplete dominant: Cap x Cap produces 25% Super Cappuccinos, 50% visual Cappuccinos, and 25% normals. Q: Can I breed two Cappuccino crested geckos together? A: Technically yes, but it produces 25% Super Cappuccinos, which have documented health concerns including reduced nostril size and breathing difficulty. The recommended pairing is Cappuccino x non-Cappuccino, which gives you 50% visual Cappuccino offspring with zero Super Cappuccinos and no health liability.
