Rebecca Hassler is the owner of Dragoon Gecko, an EU-based leopard gecko morph breeding facility. In this episode, Rebecca discusses the use of the term "pure", and if it is appropriate to use in relation to morphs. We cover some of the differences between leopard gecko and ball python breeding, specifically highlighting the difference between working with simple vs. complex genetic traits. Rebecca explains the value genetic testing would bring to the breeding community and we wrap up the episode discussing domestication.
