It's hard to tell since the picture is from the side,not from above. Based on what I can see, I imagine he looks to be a snow since he's black and white. There's really no such thing as a "snow hybrid". If he's truly black and white, he's probably a snow, likely a Mack snow but there's no way to know for sure. If he has hidden recessive genes, there's no way to know because they don't factor into his appearance. There's one exception: he looks especially spotty which may mean (no guarantee) that he has a gene for blizzard since those hets often look spottier.

A Galaxy is a fancy name for a mack super snow eclipse. There isn't really anyway to know what the parents of your new gecko looked like and if his parents were a mack snow and a galaxy he wouldn't be a "mix" but he'd be a mack snow that was het for eclipse. He definitely looks like a mack snow to me but the only way to know what else is in his background would be to test breed. Albino strains are the most important in the leopard gecko community and because it takes 3+ years (or 60+ babies) to prove a gecko free of all strains of albino with reasonable certainty most folks regard geckos with unknown backgrounds as pet quality and don't plan to breed them.

Congrats on a cute and healthy looking new baby gecko!

Thank you so much! I don't really plan on breeding I honestly just love Leo's and when I find a nice one like this I grab them and add to my collection he's a sweet guy! I'm glad I got him

I think everyone covered the basics for you already. He looks like a super nice pet (probable mack snow) gecko. There are no hybrids or snow galaxy mixes. He may be het eclipse. The spots make me think het blizzard or maybe even murphy patternless. But without knowing the parents, we can't really tell you much.

Ya the guy I spoke to was throwing all those names like mix and hybrid at me lol I was not sure since I'm fairly new with morphs.. i just knew this one was really cool, I kinda already guessed it was a mack snow just wasn't sure which type since he has the tiny spots.. And I can't believe I got him at a retail pet store for $30.. he was an accidental find. But he's healthy so I grabbed him thanks for everyone's input it helped alot!
