Hi there! Okay before you suggest using the online calculators I already have and they did not help. So with that said I am pairing my bold stripe mack snow with shtct and am trying to figure out the mathematical probability of there hatchlings as well as the probability of them being bred back to mom or dad or to each other. Also please if you choose to help can you show me how you got the answers or percentage that you came out with.thank you in advance for the help.

Yeah they're both line bred morphs so what the babies will look like exactly is pretty unpredictable. The hypo will wash out most of the bold markings and the babies will all be hypos with varying degrees and patterns of muted black spotting.

the mack snow is dominant and so is hypo, so you would get 1/4 normal, 1/4 hypo, 1/4 mack snow and 1/4 mack snow hypo. however shtct has a lot of polygenic traits in it so the babies will all have reduced spotting, tangerine influences and carrot tail influences. but as these traits require careful line breeding they will probably not show up at all.
edit: just seen the bold stripe part, this will most likely not be shown in the offspring, but you may get some jungles and the bold gene will be washed out

Thank you twreptiles. One more question. I read in several places that breeding these two together can result in a cremesicle. But that doesn't seem to be written by anyone. I read it on geckowiki website

Sorry I didn't read the Mack Snow in your original post. I don't know much about cremesicles but if what I'm reading is right, they are Super Hypo Mack Snows that was line bred for white on orange contrast. If that's true than you should be able to produce Super Hypo Mack Snows after a couple generations but I'm not sure if or how similar to the photos on the wiki pages I looked at they would look like.
