what are line bred snows exactly? here is my understanding of it:

a mack snow x macksnow will produce 50% macksnows and 50% super snows
now line breeding this mack snow babies back to their parents / to each other (siblings) will produce line bred snow? is this correct?

Line bred snows are geckos that have been bred for their white coloration kind of like tangerine geckos were bred for their orange coloration. They come from specific lines that specific people have spent years breeding to look more "snow" I don't believe they usually have anything to do with Mack Snows and in fact crossing them with Mack Snow is frowned upon since it will be tough to tell if they are more white because of their line or the snow gene.

oh. so they're kind of like the "blood lines" where they line breed tangerines to instensify the orangeness of a gecko to a more reddish hue?
