HET Basics?

So according to http://www.lovegeckos.com/Genetics.aspx

My pairing of Mack Snow Tremper Albino HET Eclipse X Normal I get the chances for

25% Normal HET Tremper Albino
25% Normal HET Tremper Albino, Eclipse
25% Mack Snow HET Tremper Albino
25% Mack Snow HET Tremper Albino, Eclipse


My stupid question is how do I tell HET Termper Albino from HET Tremper Albino, Eclipse or even if I can?

You can't tell visually.
You'd have to test breed the offspring.

Some people who are lazy or want to sell the hatchlings in cases like this will just say if it's mack snow... mack snow het. Tremper Albino 50% possible het Eclipse or Normal het Tremper Albino 50% possible Eclipse. The best way is to be honest and give your customers the percentage and they may be willing to test breed themselves to see if it's het tremper & eclipse or just het Tremper.

Thanks for that advice. I wasn't sure how I should label them, and now I am more confident about that.

I guess I just get caught up in it and can't think straight. lol
