Leutistic is the old name for hypo I think but MP and hypos are completely different genetics. Let me summarize the morphs mentioned.

Mack snow: dominant( also has a super version when you have 2 copies of this gene)
MP: recessive
hypo:not 100% sure but I think it is dominant.

Now to describe the differenes a hypo can have very different variations in colors and only look slightly similar to MP as juvies because MP's have very unique bands when they are babies and fade away as they grow and become patternless. Now if you cross a MP x MS hypo you will get alot of different babies possible outcomes:

Mack snow
mack snow hypo
hypo
normal

All of which will be het MP

Well hope I didn't miss anything, or if I was incorrect about something someone correct it. I also wouldn't recommend breeding petstore animals bcuz who knows what they are het for and are more suited as pets only. I also wouldn't recommend you breeding atleast not at this stage, you still have to learn alot, id recomend leopardgeckowiki to learn about morphs.

Leucistic was the original name given to the first patternless morph. Once the Blizzard morph was established, and thought by some to be the actual leucistic, the yellow patternless geckos became "Murphy Patternless" to try to avoid confusion. You can see how well that worked. ;) So unless the source you're buying from is calling something else leucistic, it's a safe bet that it's actually Murphy Patternless.

Assuming both geckos are Murphy, and the female is a Mack Snow, your resulting offspring would be an "even" mix of patternless geckos and Snow patternless geckos.

www.leopardgeckowiki.com is a good place to start your research, and a simple Google search will also return a few good results. http://www.vmsherp.com/LCLeopardNames.htm would be my first choice for leopard gecko genetics.
