Mack snow gene in diablo blancos and blazing blizzards...

[Polypterus]

Hello!

I have a diablo blanco leopard gecko, with 50% chance to mack snow. My question is that, without testbreeding it possible to determine the presence of the gene, visually. The same applies to the bb.


I have no money testbreed away, and the mack's presence would depend on what kind of gene pair to buy.


Tomorrow, if necessary, I prepare some photo and upload it.


His eyes seem full black (of course I know that red).
Initially it was slightly yellow, but becomes whiter.
Mild white bands on the spine line.

Very interested in this myself

mack snow is co-dominant.. cant be 50% chance to... it is or it isnt...

There is no difference? Could be guessed at all? Eye color or more paradox spots? My gecko's have some few fairly small and light brown.

@Pilsboy
50% is meaning that the parents of this gecko was probably a Mack Snow DB and a DB, since its impossible to tell a Mack Snow DB from a DB, because the blizzard gene takes out all coloration, it's considered 50% because its not for sure Mack Snow. Now if you thought 50% meant het for Mack Snow, that is impossible.
I know of a breeder or two that consider Mack Snow the "het" form of the Super Snow. It technically is, it is only one copy of the gene, super snow being both copies. Vmsherp does that.
