Breeding help- Do I have what I need to breed a Mack snow RAPTOR

[lilkat218]

I want to get into dreamsicles ultimately, but I need a male Mack snow RAPTOR. I have a female Nova that I would pair it with to get dreamsicles (among others). The breeder I work with has had only female MS RAPTORs so far.

I have these geckos already, and I know it will be easier to just wait & buy one, but I want to see if I have the right combo already to breed my own. I also know it may take a few generations to get the results.

I have these morphs:
Female Mack snow (ph tremper albino- being tested this season)
Female tremper albino (ph eclipse - being tested this season)
Female Nova

Male Mack snow tremper albino
Male tremper albino het eclipse
Male Mack snow lavender bold stripe.

I currently have the male tremper het eclipse with the female tremper ph eclipse to test if she is het eclipse or not.

I also have my female Mack snow ph tremper with my male tremper snow to test if she is het tremper or not.

I've played with the reptile calculator to get outcomes, but I'd like some of your opinions too!

Thanks!!

Eventually, yes. It would take you a few years though because none of your Mack Snows are carrying both genes (Tremper Albino, Eclipse).

Yes, I know it will be a few years. I may just wait until I can buy the male I need because I'm impatient!

With what I have, what pairing would you put together to get offspring to hold back?

Ok so playing on the reptile calculator. if I pair my female nova & Mack snow tremper, I should get a Mack snow tremper het eclipse (among others) I can then breed it back to my nova & get dreamsicles or Mack snow raptors.

Does this sound like a good plan, assuming the odds are ever in my favor? Or would anyone do a different combo??

Personally, I'm not a fan of breeding females every year or breeding yearlings, so I would recommend waiting and/or picking up another gecko for the second round of crosses.

If you're really lucky, you could get a Mack Snow Tremper Albino Enigma het Eclipse out of the first pairing (Nova x Mack Snow Tremper Albino).
