The parents have completely different sets of traits.
On one side, you have genes for Mack Snow (incomplete dominant), Tremper (recessive), and Eclipse (recessive). If it's a true patternless stripe RAPTOR, you'll also have stripe genes (polygenetic).
On the other, you have Super Hypo (polygenetic), Tangerine (polygenetic), Carrot Tail (polygenetic), and Emerine (polygenetic).
When crossing the two, all the babies will be Mack Snow het Tremper het Eclipse (a.k.a. "het RAPTOR"). All line bred traits will be highly variable because you're crossing a parent with the traits to a parent with none of them, and they are polygenetic.

Crossing tangerine into the line is the way to do that, but the fact that you're crossing Tremper and Eclipse to a gecko with neither means that it will take years of line breeding to get the RAPTOR and tangerine traits back together in one gecko. Because you have Mack Snow genes, you'll also be dealing with Mack Snow and Super Snow babies.
If your goal is tangerine RAPTORs, you would be better served trying to hunt down a tangerine gecko that already has Tremper or Eclipse traits (preferably even het RAPTOR), unless you want to build from the ground up.
