macks are codom, albinos are recessive.

for the best results (meaning, highest percentage of getting what you want) start off with homozygous geckos of the two morphs.

Super snow X albino =
100% mack het albino

If you cant do that, you can do:
mack X albino
50% het albino
50% mack het albino

Mack het albino x albino =
25% albino
25% het albino
25% mack het albino
25% Mack albino

Mack het albino X mack het albino =
6.25% normal
12.5% Het albino
6.25% albino
12.5% mack
25% mack Het albino
12.5% mack albino
6.25% Super snow
12.5% Super snow Het albino
6.25% super snow albino

I had the same question also, you just got to postin it first. Once you get a Mack het albino you then breed them to gether or back to the Super snow and you should get an Albino snow? Correct?

If you breed Mack Snow het albino x Mack Snow het albino you have 12,5% chance of geting Mack Snow Albino and 6,25% chance fo geting Mack Super Snow Albino.
If you breed Mack Snow het albino to Mack Super Snow you will get:

50% Mack Snow, 50% possible het albino
50% Mack Super Snow, 50% possible het albino

By the way I just hatched Mack Snow Bell Albino from breeding Mack Snow het Bell albino male to Bell albino female:D

Breeding a mack het albino to a super snow would get you macks possible het albino, and super snow possible het albinos. The albino gene is recessive, it will never show up if a het for albino is bred to a gecko with no albino genes.

Once you get a mack het albino you breed it to another mack het albino to get:

Mack het albino X mack het albino =
6.25% normal
12.5% Het albino
6.25% albino
12.5% mack
25% mack Het albino
12.5% mack albino
6.25% Super snow
12.5% Super snow Het albino
6.25% super snow albino

Or you can breed it to an albino to get:
Mack het albino X albino =
25% het albino
25% albino
25% mack het albino
25% mack albino

I think it would be better to breed the mack het albino to another mack het albino because you get more of a variety and the chance of super snows and super snow albinos.

From SS het bell X bell you will get

50% snow het bell
50% snow bell

To get a SS bell you need both parents carrying the mack snow gene and both parent carrying the bell gene.
