Default a question on leo genetics

hi. i have been keeping and breeding Geckos for a while now but never truely understood the genetics of it. i hope i dont sound stupid about it asking but would just like it made a bit more simple lol, if i breed my two enigmas together do i get normal babies or enigmas. in books its made very confuseing by breeding a group to get het then breeding them to get your desired morph, how do you get blazing blizzard's? and how do you get sunglows? or is it more luck than judgement? another thing i have noticed is that some morph's look like normal's when born. is there any books out there that just list morph's ? thanks in advance rob

First breeding two Enigmas together you really have to know what your doing and be 100% sure.
None of the breeder Enigmas used for breeding are expressing the Enigma syndrome(Spinning,star gazing,flipping).

To your question depends on the genetics of the Enigmas.There are a couple outcomes.

[1C]Eingma X [1C]Enigma = .

Normal.
[1C]Enigma.
[2C]Enigma.
------
[2C]Eingma X [1C]Enigma = .

[1C]Enigma.
[2C]Enigma.
------
[2C]Eingma X [2C]Enigma = .

[2C]Enigma.
======
Blazing blizzard is a combo of Albino and Blizzard.

FIRST.

Albino normal X Blizzard = .

Normal HET Albino,Blizzard.
------
THEN.

Normal HET Albino,Blizzard X Normal HET Albino,Blizzard = .

Normal Poss-HET Albino,Blizzard.
Albino normal Poss-HET Blizzard.
Blizzard Poss-HET Albino.
Albino blizzard = Blizzard blizzard.
======
A leo that's Albino + Super hypo + Tangerine is considered a Sunglow by most.
IMO i think Albino and Super hypo is enough coz when hypo and albino are comboed there fairly bright anyway.

FIRST.

[1C]Super hypo X Albino normal = .

Normal HET Albino.
[1C]Hypo HET Albino.

A percent of the hypo offspring will likely mature into Super hypo.
------
THEN.

[1C]Hypo HET Albino X [1C]Hypo HET Albino = .

Normal Poss-HET Albino.
Albino normal.
[1C]Hypo Poss-HET Albino.
[1C]Albino hypo.
[2C]Hypo Poss-HET Albino.
[2C]Albino hypo.

A percent of the hypo offspring will likely mature into Super hypo.

Albino + Super hypo(No body spots) = Sunglow.
Albino + hypo(Body spots) = Hybino.

Leopard gecko morph info.
[1C]-1 Copy = (Heterozygous).
[2C]-2 Copy = (Homozygous).
Snow SPLIT Super snow = (Mack).
[1C]Snow,[2C]Snow = (TUG,GEM).
Tinted = (False eclipse).
Hyper aberrant = (Jungle).
