This is my first year breeding and I have only been working with the SHTCT, Electric and Blood hypos. I am looking to expand a little within the next few months and would like to add some white colors to a brand new project for me. I have been doing what I can for research but I am unable to find everything I need answered. I know the dreamsicle consists of the enigma, raptor and mack snow morph. So where should I start? What would be the best geckos to get? Any information would be appreciated.

Although it is mildly annoying seeing the exact same thread in a different section...I will also copy and paste my response here.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Cheapest route (without using hets) is a Nova x Mack Raptor...best insurance on producing dreams is Super Nova x Raptor. I personally went the route of building up my own crosses for a few generations before finally producing them. Enigma is a flawed gene that when line bred too much it only amplifies the issue. It was the longer route but in the end I was able to maintain higher whites in my adults. If you can afford a Dream then get the nicest one you can afford and pair him with some Raptors. Just remember, ALL projects are going to reflect quality of the parents. Cheaping out on breeders will only result in less pronounced lines of babies. QUALITY IS EVERYTHING. Here is an example of one of our Dreams (when we worked with Trempers);

I agree with Travis. Parents genes are very important when working on a project. I went a different route this year and bred a male Mack Snow Raptor (Banded)

Don't be sorry, this is a perfectly good question! If some people are mildly annoyed they shouldn't post here..

Your route to producing dreamsicles all depends on how much you want to spend.
I would look into getting a couple Mack Snow RAPTOR females, which are fairly cheap and easy to come by today, and mabey a Nova male, or possibly an Enigma het Eclipse/Tremper Albino male. There is a few ways to go about doing this and one good thing to do is gather as much knowledge on the morph as you can to make it easier for your decision.
Cheers!

Mildly annoyed that the same thread was posted again after it received a good answer originally. Id be annoyed too.

Mabey he needed more clarification on the question, I didn't see the last one so I'm glad there was another one. Never hurts to get a second opinion..

Brett don't flatter yourself by trying to imply that I am unwilling to help. This is a thread which was copy and pasted into two different sections without any time for a response. If you would take the time to look before you try to call someone out, I think you would find that more beneficial. Second opinions are fine, after you receive a first. In which I was the first to reply to both. I not only answered their question but provided good information (which you simply mirrored in your response). Please PM me if you have a discrepancy with me and please call me by name when referring to me instead of saying "people". Thanks.

Guys I was not trying to cause any conflict with anyone. Everyone has been a great help and I thank all of you for that. I honestly didn't think it was a big deal copy and pasting the same question to two different threads. I won't from now on. I posted both postings before getting a response for one so Or even giving it a chance to get an answer. I just didn't know if that should be posted under general discussion or genetics and morphs so to be seen I wanted to get my question out there. From now on, I know. Once again don't want any confrontation wasn't my intention! Thanks again everyone!!
