Dreamsickle is a combination morph of the Enigma trait, RAPTOR morph, and the Mack Snow morph. The first Dreamsickle debuted on January 15, 2008. It was produced by A&M Geckos. Along with the Dreamsickle, they have named a few other combination morphs, the Nova (RAPTOR Enigma), and the Super Nova (RAPTOR Super Snow Enigma).

Quoted from leopardgeckowiki.

Go to that website if you need any more info on the genetics, they don't cover all the bases but its one of the best starts I had.

Huge difference.

A Dreamsickle is a Macks Snow Tremper Eclipse Paternless Stripe Enigma. A pretty easy way of trying to produce these is a Nova (Raptor Enigma) to a Mack Raptor (Mack Snow Raptor). There are many ways but those two morphs are easy to get a hold of.

A Creamsickle is something completely non related. They are a SHTCT Mack Snow. In essence crossing a SHTCT to a Mack Snow. However, creating creamsicles is not a first season thing. It takes a few seasons and selective breeding to create a nice looking creamsicle. If you wanna see some nice ones just browse through JMG website (http://www.jmgreptile.com/shop/cat_19_0.html) (he also has enigma creamsicles as well.)

This is a good site to try to understand some/most of the morphs out there... http://www.leopardgeckowiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Morphs

snow enigma x raptor? can i produce dreamsickle from this pairing?

snow enigma x raptor? can i produce dreamsickle from this pairing?

Snow Enigma x RAPTOR = 50% Snow Enigmas het Tremper & Eclipse, 50% Enigma het Tremper & Eclipse

Super Snow Enigma x RAPTOR = Snow Enigmas het Tremper & Eclipse

So even with a Super Snow Enigma, there is no possible way to produce Dreamsickles with this pairing, as well as many other pairings. You can see how hard it is, and that's why the Dreamsickle will retain its value for a long time to come.

It's no wonder that they're my all-time favorite Leopard gecko morph. That solid, porcelain white body, yellow/orange flecking, and those piercing, blazing ruby red eyes truly makes for an outstanding animal. I dream of the day when I produce my first Dreamsickle Leopard gecko...

what if my snow enigma is het raptor?

Even if a Super Snow Enigma het RAPTOR was bred to a RAPTOR you'd only get Mack Snow Enigmas that would be het for a bunch of stuff.
