That's a mack snow. Though they usually yellow up more in age. As hatchlings they're white and black. Normal hatchlings are yellow and black.

You actually can't always tell the difference between a Mack snow and a normal when they are adults, though I have found that some Mack snows seem to have a gray/brownish cast to their coloring and a more washed out look to their black markings. The only way to really know is to either have seen the gecko as a hatchling or to trust what the breeder tells you.

Mack Snows are all black and white when they hatch, when they grow up they can sometimes look like a normal, the only way to tell then is to breed them.
(Of course there also are normals, that look like snows)

If you're looking for some, let the breeder show you pictures of them as hatchlings, or buy them at a young age, and you're good to go

And if you're breeding them anyway: you could show us pictures of them

yours,
Fabrizio
