It’s a combination between the Mack/ Super Snow allele (het) and the tremper albino allele (homozygous)

MS het Tremper x MS het Tremper = MS Tremper
MS het Tremper x MS Tremper = MS Tremper

but

MS x Tremper = MS het Tremper
Then, in the following season breed MS het Tremper male offspring to MS het Tremper female offspring to get MS Trempers. Hope this helps.

MS Tremper is a gecko that's visually expressing (or homosygous for) both the Mack Snow and Tremper Albino traits.

All you need to possibly make a mack tremper is a mack het tremper and some trempers to breed it to.


Maurice is correct, but you could also make SS trempers with those top 2 examples.

A mack snow tremper is actually a gecko that is homozygous for tremper albino but only heterzygous for mack snow due to this being a co dominant morph.

I think your statement is confusing to any member asking questions on genetics. If you LOOK at a Mack Snow, you can SEE that it's a Mack snow. And while technically it's only carrying one copy of the gene, the trait is still visually expressed.

Or do you just go around forums splitting hairs and starting arguements?

Technically speaking Maurice he is right. The Mack Snow is a visual Het for the Super Snow, so technically speaking their cannot be a true Homozygous Mack Snow since that is a Super snow.

couldn't you also get just trempers out of this?

Indeed that pair would result in:

18.75% Normals 66% Possible Het Tremper Albino
6.25% Tremper Albinos
37.5% Mack Snow 66% Possible Het Tremper Albino
12.5% Mack Snow Tremper
18.75% Super Snow 66% Possible Het Tremper Albino
6.25% Super Snow Tremper Albino
