A guy I know says he has a female snow het tremper albino het eclipse. The price is right on here and she's 60grams right now.
If she doesn't prove out the hets and is just a Mack snow i will get 50% snow het tremper albino het eclipse 50% normal het tremper albino het eclipse right?
If she does prove out with the hets then I get alot of different offspring including Mack snow tremper albino eclipse Which is a Mack snow raptor right?

I'm just thinking that with that pairing even if it doesn't prove out the hets
I would now have the ability to produce super snows, regular snows, tremper albinos, eclipse I mean alotmof different pairings. Do you guys think this is a
good pairing on my part? The female is only $50 and she's ready to breed as is my raptor. I'm debating going for it. I mean it's a good deal on the female for sure.

I don't know tho also when I incubate the eggs should I go for males or females and why do you think that? I'm needing some advice
from you guys in a bad way. I can get the female tomorrow, I know she will be sold soon as she is ready to breed, she is big, she is pretty and if she does
prove out the bets then she is actually pretty valuable considering I have a raptor male. So let me know what you think and why.

I will have help if I do get this back surgery so that's no big deal. I'm sure I
missed out on the breeding season already and that's fine I can wait
til next year if need be I just don't want to miss out on a good deal on this female.

You are correct on the genetic possibilities, except that you will not get super snows in the first generation, only mack snows. That is a good pairing, but don't be in a hurry to breed if you get her, give her a proper quarantine period first. I typically do 30 days for apparently healthy animals from a trusted breeder, and 60-90 for unknown breeders or pet store pickups.

Its the same person i got the raptor from. I worded wrong with the super snow. I meant to say if I keep offspring I could then go for super snow. Say if I breed Mack snow het eclipse het tremper to each other then it would be super snows.

I think it's a good idea just because I can keep some offspring and be able to branch out. So was I right on the Mack snow raptor if she is het eclipse and het tremper?

I just don't know what all offspring I should keep that would give me the best bang for the buck. I just need a little help lol. Also did I miss the season or no? If I did that's totally fine with me I still need to figure out what I'll do with the offspring.

Ok I got ahold or him on the phone and here is what i found out. The Mack snow is het raptor and he bought it from ohio gecko. He said she is almost 2 yrs old. He bred my raptor to her before I got my raptor from him. He said she has laid 6eggs 2 were fertile the rest weren't. I don't know if it's due to them only mating once or not. He said he thinks she is done laying. She laid her last two infertile 5days ago.

The thing I'm wondering is if I get her and she lays again I'm sure they will be infertile since the last ones were. But if I house them two together if they breed will she produce fertile eggs or if she's done for the season. He said it's her first year breeding and it's normal to get infertile eggs. She has laid 6 I believe so I don't know what to expect, in terms if she will lay more or not.

He said the raptor was paired with her once but he lived with the other 3 snow females and never had a problem with them being aggressive. I looked up on the morph calculator what are the outcomes of snow het raptor x raptor is and there is alot of possibilities. I think it was 8 different ones, one being mack snow tremper eclipse which is a Mack snow raptor right?

Oh her weight is 56 grams after laying 2 infertile eggs so she is of size but I will work on getting her bigger. I will set up the bator for all females so if I can't get rid of them right away at least I can keep them together until they are gone.
The offspring tho is alot of differences. 8 different animals here is what I got for offspring of this pairing.
12.5% Mack Snow Tremper Albino Eclipse
12.5% Mack Snow Eclipse het Tremper Albino
12.5% Mack Snow Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Mack Snow het Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Tremper Albino Eclipse
12.5% Eclipse het Tremper Albino
12.5% Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Normal het Tremper Albino het Eclipse

Most of the offspring will show Banded patterning
