This is my first gecko but not around reptiles. I am getting a mack snow or mack super snow not sure which one it is or even if it is a male or female yet. Wondering for breeding down the road what other gecko would be good to breed with this type. Lets say i wanted to sell them what would be a good combo and lets also say what would make a cool combo just to keep for my own pets with no concern of profit. Since I am just starting out in this hobby I am not considering even breeding for a couple years anyway this is just so I can buy them together so i can have them at the same ages. When it comes to your suggestions for the creative ones to just keep myself please dont hesitate to go out of the box.

Welcome to GF. The snow geckos are co-dominant: one copy of the gene makes Mack snow and 2 copies make supersnow. The nice thing about co-dominance is that you can get something besides "normal" without having to go 2 generations the way you would with a recessive trait. If you get a nice tangerine gecko, you may get tangerine snow geckos (then, on the other hand, given the line-bred nature of snows, you may not). If you get a gecko with a recessive gene, you will need to breed the offspring to each other or back to the parent with the recessive gene. Look at geckos, get an idea of what you like, get a nice gecko of the opposite sex and in a few years when you're getting ready to breed you may have more of an idea of what you want to make so you can get an appropriate third gecko.
