What would this cross be called?

If a person were to breed a Las Vegas Albino with a Mack Snow and the baby happened to have Eclipse eyes, would this morph be called a Las Vegas Albino Mack Snow Eclipse? Or would you not even say the Eclipse? I'm truthfully not very good with morphs. Thanks in advance!

Mack Typhoon would be the name of a gecko expressing the eclipse, las vegas and mack snow genes all at the same time.

However, if you breed a Las Vegas Albino to a Mack snow you would get:
50% het Las Vegas Albino
50% Mack Snow, het Las Vegas Albino

Since you didn't know the Mack Snow had the eclipse gene originally, it is possible the Mack Snow is het for RAPTOR, which presents the possibility that the gecko may be het Typhoon and RAPTOR.

I would ask the genetic background from the person you purchased the Mack Snow from.

Mkay! Thank you! I was just wondering because I thought that morph would look really cool. I'm planning for my adoption ^-^ It's less than a month away.

EDIT: Also, how much do you think a Mack Typhoon would cost?

First of all anyone selling a RW/LV that is het for Typhoon they should be able to tell you that and not have any surprise babies. With Typhoons still in the process of becoming more readily affordable, I doubt someone would let one go without even noting it as a pos het. Secondly if a Mack Snow is popping out Eclipses I would assume it was het Raptor since a Pure Eclipse and/or a dbl het Typhoon Mack Snow would also not be a common gecko to just find. So if it were me I would not sell any babies that came from that pairing without further confirming genetics. With that pairing the first thing I would think is that the RW may actually be a Tremper. You also do not want to be selling a bunch of RW that are het Tremper too.

As far as the price for a Mack Typhoon. If you are a known breeder and the quality is there you can get $600-$1000. If you don't have a reputation throughout the community and/or your genetics have anything in question then it would be $100 or so. No one will invest in an animal without 100% guaranteed genetics, as it should be. So I know you are just gathering information and thats the best thing to do. However, you need to KNOW the genetics of your animals before your trying to determine market value of possible outcomes.

Okie dokey! Like I said, I was wondering the name for it because I thought that it'd be cool to have one. They just seemed pretty. And yeah, morphs confuse me. With all the hets, percents, and names for outcomes I get extremely confused. Thanks for the help!
