Default breeding leos morph ideas please

im after some advice as i am a complete novice to morphs and wish to soon start breeding. i currently own 2 female leos (see below) 1x normal and 1x hypo yellow (i think thats right?? please comment). i just wondered if i should look out for any particular morph of male to mate with these two, are they likely to hold any recessive genes that anyone can spot which would be worthwhile matching in a male?





i am interested in the albino and jungle morphs, if i mated one with these females would this same morph be passed on or am i likely to get more normal babies?

thanks in advance

if you mated your two to an albino male, your normal would give you normal babies het for albino ( unless she`s het albino, and then which strain albino? plus you cant tell visually )

your hypo would give you a mix of hypo and normal babies, also het albino.

the sure way to get morph babies is to use a dominant or co-dominant morph.

a supersnow to your two would give you mack snow and hypo snow babies.

a mack snow would give normal, hypo, hypo snow and mack snow babies

tug snow would give hypo tug snow, tug snow, hypo and normal if the tug was a heterozygous tug and had one copy of the tug gene.

Jungle would be a good route, you'd get a nice mix of patterned hatchlings right off.
