What would the outcome be from a Mack snow enigma to a raptor? Also, what would the outcome from a Mack snow enigma to a bell albino

Mack Enigma (assuming 1 copy Enigma) X Raptor =

25% Mack Enigma,
25% Mack,
25% Enigma,
25% Normal

..all will be 100% het Tremper Albino and Eclipse. Due to the polygenic genes of the Raptor, you could expect all (or none) of the babies to show varying degrees of Jungle, Stripe, Aberrant etc, etc..

Mack Enigma (assuming 1 copy Enigma) X Bell Albino =

25% Mack Enigma
25% Mack,
25% Enigma,
25% Normal

..all 100% het Bell Albino.

If your Mack Enigma is a 2 copy Enigma (ie carrying 2 Enigma genes) then ALL babies will be Enigmas.

Is there any way to tell if a enigma carries 2 genes without breeding to provie it out?
I've been looking into getting a Mack snow and a enigma so I can produce Mack snow enigmas.

To put it simply, no. You would gave to test breed to fund out. But I'd say 95%(or more) of enigmas on the market are 1 copy enigmas.

Yep, If it did carry 2 copies of the trait then if you breed it to a non Enigma all of the babies will contain a 1 copy Enigma gene.

Yeah a 2copy enigma would make all enigmas when bred to a normal. I don't understand at all how there is a 2 copy enigma and you can't visually tell.

The reason you can`t tell a 1 copy Enigma from a 2 copy Enigma, is because the Enigma gene is a dominant one, therefor it has no `Super` form in the same way 2 copies of a co-dom gene (lick Mack Snow) produce a `Super`. It`s one of the distinguishing features of a dominant gene, in that any leo that carries a copy expresses it in the same way visually whether it carries one or 2 copies.

Yeah it's just like the spider ball python, it does the circling, and head shake too plus it's a dominant morph. I don't know what other morphs are dominant, or if enigma is the only one. I see a pattern tho between dominant morphs, the BP spider and Leo gecko both have a nuerological disorder or it's something with the inner ear being off I don't know.

I'm actually looking into getting a Mack snow enigma it's funny you posted this.
All the offspring will be het tremper het eclipse. That's the one thing I don't like about raptors they always produce hets lol.
