Question
Hello, do you know what the offspring of a sunburst and high yellow leopard gecko may be. Thanks.

Answer
 First of all "Sunburst" is a name given by some breeder for whatever color morph he came up with.  I personally breeds for size and hardiness in bearded dragons and have not bothered with going for special colors because it weakens the species genetically.  What were the parents of the mating pair?  What did their siblings look like?  These will tell you the possibilities you could get with the mating.  Whatever is dominant will come out strongest.  For instance, If a variant of high yellow produces the so-called Sunburst, and you mate it with a high yellow, than most babies may show high yellow, since there is high yellow in both parents.  Sometimes it's more than one pair of genes that makes a certain color.  Genetics can only give you probabilities.
