Your first leo is het Raptor which stands for Ruby (red)-eye Albino Patternless Tremper Orange. Your other Leo is a Rainwater Albino het albino carrot tail? a het is a hidden trait that is in the genes of the leo that isnt displayed visually but your leo is an albino already? You should never breed Leo's that have different albino genes. It's not a good breeding practice and in my opinion (and most everyone's) only muddies up the gene pool more. If you really want to breed, gain as much knowledge you can, and pick a specific "project". Something you are interested and that will sell easily. I'm partial to rainwaters as I have a male rainwater staring at me awkwardly as I write. Why not get a Red stripe and use the rainwater. "Raining red stripe". I'm actually not that great at morph compared to many on here. Look around at some of the great projects on here. A lot of amazing hatchlings already this year posted. Make sure you do all your research on breeding though. It is not easy, costs money, and can really put strain on your pets.

IMO don't breed them. If you want to get established as a breeder keep the types of albino separate. Other people may take your babies and want to breed the same way you do which will cause them a lot of problems if they don't know accurate genetics, or have muddy waters to start. If you breed those two you'll more than likely have a very hard time finding homes for the babies and this world doesn't need anymore homeless geckos.
