Default Raptor Leopard Gecko Egg Morphs

Hi I have a male normal, which was produced from breeding two mack snows. I have bred him this year with a Raptor, with success and 4 eggs in the incubator. What could I expect from this pair? As he is from Mack Snow parents, could these genetics appear in the new babies?

The same male is also in with a Super Snow. Could Super Snows be produced? even if he does not carry any Mack Snow genetics?

Any advice would be great

If he is 100% Normal then there is no way he can be carrying the mack snow gene. You may get a suprise though as mack snows can look exactly like normals as adults. Did you see him as a hatchling?

From Normal x Raptor you can expect Normals het Raptor (eclipse and tremper albino) all will show varying tangerine and reduced spotting (From the Patternless and ORange in raptor).

Normal x Super snow will give you 100% Mack snows.

Unfortunately you cant get het for mack snow as it is a co dominant morph.
A het mack snow would be visually mack snow but the way you have worded it (100% het for...) gives the impression the seller has sold it leading the buyer to believe the gecko is carrying one copy of the mack snow gene and the snow gene is ressesive.

Thats just a normal

That is what I thought, only realised this after I had bought him, as he had mack snow parents I just hoped that he may carry a mack snow copy some where.

Can I therefore expect

From Normal x Raptor you can expect Normals het Raptor (eclipse and tremper albino) all will show varying tangerine and reduced spotting (From the Patternless and ORange in raptor).

Normal x Super snow will give you 100% Mack snows.

As sam12345 mentioned.

Would a Tangerine Albino be possible?
