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
