It is a Hypo Mack Snow.
The mack snow trait is co-dominant while the hypo trait is dominant.

If I were you I would breed him to your Tremper just to prove him out to see if he is het. Tremper. Unless the breeder was sure of his genetics when you got him.
If he is het. Tremper you could get some cool Mack Snow Tremper Albino babies.

If you breed him to other snows you could possibly get some super snow babies. :]

what about breeding him with the others ?

With the Tremper
50% Mack Snow Hypo (1 Copy) het Tremper Albino
50% Hypo (1 Copy) het Tremper Albino

With the Blazing Bliz.
50% Mack Snow Hypo (1 Copy) het Tremper Albino het Blizzard
50% Hypo (1 Copy) het Tremper Albino het Blizzard

M. PAtternless
50% Mack Snow Hypo (1 Copy) het Murphy Patternless
50% Hypo (1 Copy) het Murphy Patternless

.... for many, it will be almost same results. Personally, I would start off simple with the pure Tremper to test breed him to see what you have. Know what I mean?

You can use this to get a general idea of what your combinations will be

but why randomly assume its het tremper? ... ask the breeder, and ask about the parents.
if your testing to see if its het tremper, you may as well pick up every other recessive trait and check it at the same time...

I'm not assuming, but he may be. You just never know. I'm using it as an example. If he doesn't know much about this gecko he should contact the breeder, you're right. If the breeder doesn't respond he should test it's genetics out as much as possible before starting projects.

From what I've observed the Mack Hypos are more dulled/washed out (very pale, you will see more dulling as he grows too). Also, lots of the time their heads are very pale (sometimes white with the black spots) and the tails exhibit little color. Bodies have very few spots if hypo and none if super hypo. I've seen some really nice ones where the body almost seems white it is that pale. Anyone- plz correct me if you have a better definition to offer :) While normal SHCT have more color in general- are brighter.

Here is one of my Mack Snow Hypos at 6.5 months old.
