So I have a tremper albino tangerine male and a RAPTOR female. RAPTORs already have albino in them, so would breeding them just make raptors, aptors, and albinos? Not sure exactly how that would work and I want to know what to expect before I breed them. Thank you guys!

So first off, I suggest whenever you have a genetic combination question, go here: Leopard Gecko Genetics Calculator

Second, both of your geckos are visually expressing the Tremper trait, so all of their offspring will also express that trait. Your female is eclipse as well (raptor), but your male is not, so your offspring will all be 100% heterozygous (het) for the eclipse trait. If you bred a male offspring back to his mother (tremper het raptor x raptor) you would get 50% raptor and 50% tremper het raptor.

Hope this makes it clear. I suggest using the calculator; it has been an invaluable tool for me.
