What would I get if I was to breed these? I'm starting to get my head around the morphs and genetics, I'm just a little shaky.

Could someone help my brain cells out please, I've been looking here Anthony Caponetto Reptiles - ACReptiles.com and its starting to make a little more sense.

I've seen a couple I like on Sheffield Geckos, some very nice ones, my son might be getting an interesting crimbo prezzie

And I thought Crestie and Beardie morphs were complicated!!

Well, a Super Snow is homozygous Mack Snow. So all your offspring will automatically be Mack Snows.

A RAPTOR is an Eclipse Albino with Reverse Striping and Tangerine colouring.

Your Mack Snows will be het Eclipse, and het Albino. However, I'm not sure how the Reverse Stripe is inherited - that one might be a selectively bred pattern - and I KNOW Tangerine is a selectively bred enhanced colour.

What you'll almost certainly get is sort of yellowish, oddly patterned mack snows het for eclipse and Albino.

And I STILL don't know why someone would want to breed a gecko which is supposed to have yellow so reduced it appears white to a gecko that is supposed to have yellow so enhanced that it is orange...

Thanks for the info, I think that was me being thick, didn't think about the underlying characteristics of each, sorry

I'll get the hang of it eventually, I started reading the Genetics intro that is linked to here, so I'll continue to read and stop being a thicky

Appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Granted, a slightly yellowish gecko with the scarlet eyes of a homozygous Eclipse/homozygous Mack Snow and the line of orange/brown spotting... that could be an interesting-looking animal

I understand most of that, all this late night/early morning reading obviously does pay off.

I'll know I've cracked it when I get as good as you obviously are. I'll work up to flash cards at some point with pictures on one side and their morph and charistics etc on the other, when I can correctly identify what they are by their pictures, I'll know I fully understand what is what and why
