Morph breeding question

I have owned leos for several years but this is the first time that I have had a male gecko. I am expecting eggs within the next few months but I find leopard gecko genetics very confusing and feel way over my head when I try to read about the subject. I have a female murphy's patternless and a female bell albino. The male is a mack snow rers. I have tried to use the leopard gecko morph calculator but I don't know the answers for a lot of the things they ask. I was just wondering what morph the babies would most likely be. Thanks ahead for answers.

First I will ask you a question....Do you know which strain albino the Mack RERS is? More than likely it is a Tremper and then you shouldn't breed it to your female Bell.

If your breed the Mack RERS to the Murphy female you will get;
Mack Snow het Murphy and whatever albino strain the mack snow is.
Normals het Murphy and whatever albino strain the mack snow is.

If the Mack RERS is Bell then you can breed it to your Bell female, then you would get;
Mack Bell
Bell

Patterns will vary depending on the patterns of the females.

The mack snow rers is a tremper. I'm not sure about the female now because when I looked for some pics the bell and tremper looked pretty similar to me. I bought her at a chain pet store and they sold me her as an albino and I always thought she was a bell. If she is a bell, what would the offspring be? What if she is a tremper and how can I tell the difference?

Post some pictures of her and we should be able to identify her for you (include eye pics...clear one). If you got her from a chain store she is most likely going to be Tremper. If she is tremper tremper then you would get what I put down for as if she was a bell..just obviously switch it to Tremper. If she is a Bell and you breed them you will have normals and Mack Snows het for both albino strains (which is not a good thing to do since it only complicated Identifying them as well as dirtying up the albino lines.) Just post pics and we will try to help (make them as clear as possible for a more accurate ID).

I uploaded some pics to my account because they were too big for the thread. I tried to get a good pic of her eye but it's not great. I hope it works. I put another pic of her and two of the mail that the breeder had on the website.
