Hopefully you're saying that your male is actually a Mack snow, as opposed to a non Mack snow who has Mack snow parents. If it's the latter, your male has no Mack snow genes and will not produce a Mack snow baby. I'll try to give you an idea of what to expect, but I think it's really important to visit a site like "leopardgeckowiki.com", figure out the genetics of each parent and work out for yourself what you may get. This should get you started:

--If the male is a Mack snow himself, statistically 50% of the babies will be snow as well
--Statistically 50% of the babies will be enigma, which can be a problem because of the enigma syndrome (if you don't know what this is, please find out before you breed)
--both geckos are Tremper albino, so all offspring will be albino
--Some of the geckos will have snake eyes or ruby eyes since the female has them and the male is theoretically het for them
--the babies' patterns will probably include: banded, jungle, stripe, reverse stripe and possibly even "patternless" (i.e. no markings to very few which will fade) because of the stripe genetics in each parent
--You may possibly get some offspring that are true raptors (meaning, to me, having no body markings; I don't go in for this "banded raptor" business)

Good luck,

Aliza

The only way to know is to go back to the breeder and ask (or to breed it to a non-snow and see if you get snows). The snows start out black and white or beige and white for the albinos, as opposed to yellow and black/beige but most yellow up as they age. If you're saying it's "co-dom for snow", find the person who told you that and ask what they meant.

The label suggests to me that it is a Mack snow.

Here are what you would get by breeding those two:

12.5% Mack Snow Enigma (1 Copy) Eclipse Tremper Albino
12.5% Mack Snow Enigma (1 Copy) Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Enigma (1 Copy) Eclipse Tremper Albino
12.5% Enigma (1 Copy) Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Mack Snow Eclipse Tremper Albino
12.5% Mack Snow Tremper Albino het Eclipse
12.5% Eclipse Tremper Albino
12.5% Tremper Albino het Eclipse


I would strongly recommend against breeding enigmas for a first time breeder. Enigma issues are not something people readily understand or know how to handle. You'll also be forced to cull some geckos if they produce enigmas with severe syndrome.
