Half Mack Snows, half normals.

Any, all or none of them could show aberrant patterning.

Only if:

1. The reason your female is Jungle is due to a genetic mutation and NOT incubation conditions or random fluke.
2. The genetic mutation is a dominant or codominant mutation rather than a recessive one.

You'd only get Jungle Macks if that was the case - that Jungle is genetic and at least codominant.

From what I understand, in many cases "Jungle" is just a description for any leopard gecko with anything other than standard banded pattern as a hatchling, and can be absolutely not genetic... and that in the cases where it does SEEM to be genetic, it appears to be recessive.
