I got these two geckos from the two biggest chain pet stores, they had some genetic gems amongst the low priced hatchlings. I'm still pretty bad at morph identification and would like to know what I'm working with for the future. The first gecko pictured I think is a Mack snow but I want to be sure, the second I know is an albino but I'm not sure which type.

The first one does look like a Mack snow (if it's truly white and not yellow) and the speckling leads me to suspect it could be a blizzard het. If you got the gecko from the big Pet store that starts with "P" and ends with "O", it's a Tremper because as I understand it that's whose facility supplies that chain. If not, I have no way to know.

In all honesty Those "Two Big Chains" usually cross breed back and forth and there is no guarantee on what you have. They should be kept as pets and only pets just incase of albino x albino problems or hidden HETs that cannot be seen. There both cute. I love the regrown tail on the albino.

the first one i think is about to shed. i got him from +++++ on a supply run where he was in a 1.5 gallon with about 8 other geckos a few were actually breeding size. i believe its some sort of mack snow(no yellows just a purple tint below speckling). The albino i bought from ++++++++ the same day, it was also being housed with about 5 larger geckos. they had already ruined its original tail and it seemed to be a unique albino, so i bought it. Thanks for the help

I think they both might be males, the "mack snow" for sure. These two geckos were mainly rescues. I probably will use them for a breeding project if i had the right females, but i just thought it'd be nice to save them. They were unique and cheap and underdogs.
