No guarantees you'd get ANY RAPTORs... because some of the genes that make up a RAPTOR combination are not simple recessives the animal CAN be het for.

RAPTOR is:
Ruby-eyed (AKA Eclipse, a recessive gene - they can be het for this)
Albino (Tremper specifically - this is recessive and you can be het)
Patternless reverse stripe (A combo of recessive which can be het AND selective breeding... which can't be het)
Tremper ORange (Selectively bred high tangerine colour - this is not a het either.)

Therefore, depending on whether BOTH "het RAPTOR" animals qualify for the selectively bred traits - and whether they pass those on to the offspring - you may or may not get ANY real RAPTOR offspring. Even pairing it to an animal described as RAPTOR may not get any real RAPTOR offspring - and I've seen some animals advertised as RAPTORs which do not display the patternless reverse stripe patterning at all. Those are nice Red-Eyed Reverse Stripe Tremper Albinos or Ruby-Eyed Tangerine Tremper Albinos, but that's it. The key is that a real RAPTOR has a 90-100% patternless body as a hatchling - and as little patterning as possible as an adult.

If it's a "het RAPTOR" what it is actually het for is Tremper Albino, Eclipse and Reverse Stripe. The selectively bred traits may vary.
