Trying to make Cremsicles

[Barbel]

Hey all!
I am trying to make creamsicles. I know they are a line bred cross between a SHT and mack snow that takes 3-5 generations to create. My question is what traits do I look for in the offspring that I intend to breed back? Do I want an orangy Mack Snow or a whiter Tang or something else? If anyone can provide pictures of an offspring they would breed back to make a creamsicle that would be awesome.
So far I have hatched two macks and 3 normals from my M.S. SHT crossings. Also, I have yet to see a really good picture of an adult creamsicle, so if anyone could post those too, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

I bred my super snow to an Aptor het Raptor and the babies are snow with a bit orange on them which was kinda surprising but I'll have to wait and see how they turn out

JMG was the originator of the creamsicles. Here is a link to their creamsicle page:

Thank you! That website was helpful, but I am still not quite sure what I am looking for in the babies? Should I hold them back until they are older and I can see their patterns better?

pretty much you take the best orange ms hatchling and breed them back together or to another MS Tang. keep breeding till you are the end result which is whatever you wanted the gecko to look like

The page at the link (above) says, "Cremesicles are top notch four and five star quality high contrast, white, bright yellow, and orange super hypo Co-dominant snows."

That means that the geckos have a pair of hypo mutant genes and a Mack snow gene paired with a normal gene. And they are line bred for tangerine.

Here's how I'd try to make cremesicles: I'd start with a Mack snow tangerine and either a hypo tangerine or super hypo tangerine. I'd save the Mack snow hypo tangerine babies and mate them to a super hypo tangerine. I'd expect 1/4 of their babies to be super hypo Mack snows and hope that at least some are also nice tangerines. After that it is just a matter of breeding super hypo tangerines to super hypo Mack snow tangerines and selecting for high contrast and good tangerine coloration.

Good luck.
