Its kind of hard to give you input without a bit more information. Have you had experience with leopard geckos before? You should have at least a years experience with caring for leopards(or any reptile) before you jump into breeding. I would recommend doing research, get a few books (the herpetoculture of leopard geckos by Ron Tremper is excellent), visit some good websites, and do your homework. Make sure you have a plan for what you will do with babies. And scan through this forum, there is lots of information here. Unless you know the exact geneology of your females its pretty hard to pick a direction to go with morphs.

+1 ^

honestly i dont think you have a banana blizzard. A true banana blizzard is a Murphy Patternless blizzard, you probably have a "yellow" normal blizzard. And we can help you dtermine if its a blazing blizzard if you post pics of the eyes.

But yeah, i agree with Ted (T-reXx), follow his advice :thumbsup:

+1, pictures would solve a lot of your problems on identifying the morph. Breeding reptiles for the most part is easy. Its the proper care and knowing how to handle simple health issues that needs to be instilled prior to breeding. Maybe not 3 years, but at least a year of hand on active research and the drive to actually learn all about them. Not only that but how you intend on either keeping or selling all the babies. I am not trying to turn you off to breeding by any means because it is a lot of fun and rewarding.

3 months worth of research is good, but how long have you been keeping leos? Research, as important as it it, can only take you so far. You need the experience of keeping leopards (at least a year imo) before you want to deal with the potential complications of breeding them. As some one mentioned, breeding can be a great experience, but its necessary to know the more basic aspects of care, feeding, health problems, housing, etc, as well as how young leos grow and what changes they go through before you get into breeding. I'm not trying to discourage you from breeding, but without the necessary experience with basic care you may find yourself frustrated and disappointed jumping straight into breeding.

That said, you need to post pics. There are several morphs which might match your description(personally, murphy's patternless or Blizzard springs to mind) but without pics, theres really no way to tell you 100% what your females are.
