still learning too...
what is "normal" in this case? non albinos like high yellow or Bell albinos?
What is snow...do you mean normal, non albino, mack snow or bell mack snow?
And how do you know if it's enigma or normal when the eyes aren't red? Some red eye enigmas look like a high yellow, and if they don't get red eyes...how can we sepatate them??

Maybe this is something for the morph tread ??

First and formost I am no expert....(I do have lots of snake morph experience)...so I can explain "some" of this..

Assuming that you are breeding an Enigma (single copy, not het for anything) to a Mack Snow (single copy, not het for anything) Statistically you will get the following...now it does not always equate to these exact percentages, but it helps standardize it a bit.....

25% Mack Snow Enigma, 25% Enigma, 25% Mack Snow, 25% Normal (plain Jane).

If you add in the Bell Albino trait...things change a bit, but Ideally the base foundation is the same....I based this scenraio on a breeding of

Enigma (single copy) Het Bell X Mack Snow (single copy) Het Bell

25% Enigma, Het. Bell Albino, Mack Snow
25% Enigma, Het. Bell Albino
12.5% Enigma, Homozygous Bell Albino, Mack Snow (Red eye Enigma Snow)
12.5% Enigma, Homozygous Bell Albino (Red eye Enigma)
12.5% Enigma, Mack Snow
12.5% Enigma

From what little I understand about the red eyed Enigmas is they are essentially a Bell Albino Enigma


Now since I do not have an Enigma, I do not know if there are any quirks within the trait that change things.....

The same thing goes for a Mack Snow Het Blizzard to a Blazing Blizzard

25% Mack Snow Blizzard Het Albino, 25% Mack Snow Het Albino & Blizzard, 25% Blizzard Het Albino, 25% Normals Het Albino & Blizzard....

All of that goes out the window when you start adding line bred traits though, and I have no experience with those, especially relating to geckos...


I know this is very confusing.....If you have a basic understanding of traits, you can use this as a tool to get some percentages...

To actually follow the Dominant and Co-dominant traits on there, you have to remember that the single copy forms are considered "hets".....


Enjoy, and please don't beat me.... :p
