Here is another genetic question for you; If I bred my RAPTOR to my Tremper Albino Mack Snow, will it produce Mack Snow Raptors or will the Tremper albino (in the mack) make it something different? Like I said; Im new to the genetic thing. Answers are very appreciated. Thanks!

It's not the Tremper in the Mack that will make it something different. Remember, the RAPTOR is a Red-eyed (meaning eclipse gene), Albino (Tremper), Patternless, Tangerine gecko.
You will definitely get some albino Mack snows and some albino non-snows. If your Mack snow is not a stripe, you will likely get a variety of patterns ranging from banded to aberrant to jungle to stripe to reduced stripe. You will not get any RAPTORS because it doesn't sound as if both parents have the eclipse gene, so you likely won't get any red-eyed offspring. If you breed the offspring to each other or back to the RAPTOR parent, you will probably get some RAPTOR's and snow RAPTORS in the next generation.

I am sure that the Tremper Mack doesn't have eclipse. But doesn't RAPTOR need to have eclipse in it? Since it is a combination morph (of tremper albino and eclipse)?

Yes it does but since it is a recessive trait both parents need to have the eclipse gene for the babies to show the trait. Check out the calculator link in my signature. It will tell you what you can expect to get. Combine that with some knowledge of the difference between recessive, co-dominant and dominant traits and you should start to understand how all this works.
