What do you suppose the genetic makeup is for any brown-turning cranwelli? I am figuring the brown gene is dominant 3 to 1 ? Just speculating .

Say, using the xy genetic model? Taking 2 browns, 2 greens....would you say 1 of 4 will hold a good percentage of green per 4 offspring? Just wondering .
I think a lot of it depends on their environment too. They adapt to match their surroundings so they force the brown pigment to become dominant, but many do turn brown or tan. True greens are from a more wet area so they are green in order to match the more lush green vegetation.
