If both your parent geckos are actually Tremper albinos rather than het for Tremper, all the babies will be albinos. Are you sure the blizzard is a tramper blizzard rather than a blizzard het for tramper?

Aliza is correct. If both parents are visual tremper, then all babies will be tremper also.

Then the blizzard isn't labeled as a tremper blizzard, but it's a blizzard het tremper. That's why you got normal babies.

Yes, because your male is Blizzard, a recessive gene, all your babies will be het Blizzard (carrying one copy of the gene). Breeding het Blizzard back to Blizzard will have about a 50% chance of Blizzard hatchlings and a 50% chance of het Blizzard.

As a side note, because your female is Tremper (also recessive) and your male is het Tremper, all babies will either be Tremper Albino or Normal het Tremper.

Here are some links that would be good to read through if you plan to get into breeding. Having a basic idea of how genetics work will definitely help you design good pairings and accurately tell people what genetics your babies have.

Thanks for the links, I have already been over the LG morph calc and bought ron trempers book, but I will most definitely look into the Genetics 101 to refresh my memory.

Thanks!
