I can't give you all the percentages, but you will get the followiing:
all will be Tremper albinos
Statistically 50% will be enigmas since it's dominant
some will be Raptors, especially if you consider geckos with patterns to be Raptors instead of only geckos
without patterns
some will be aptors but they will be het for eclipse
they will have a 50% chance of being het for blizzard
There will be a range of spotting from lots to none and a range of patterns from banded to aberrant to jungle, stripe, reverse stripe, patternless stripe
**it will be important to keep records so you will know which geckos that ultimately have no spotting are banded/striped geckos that hypoed out and which are true patternless stripes.

I hope this is helpful.

Yes. I can't keep up with all the new names. My list above wasn't exhaustive. You can put together some of my possibilities, so if 50% of them could be enigma and some of them can be Raptor, then you could get Novas. Ideally, my list is a starting point that you can use to continue your analysis.

You should think very carefully before breeding enigmas since they can often have late-onset enigma syndrome. Gecko Time recently published an interesting article about that here:
Enigma Syndrome in Leopard Geckos: An Autosomal Dominant Disorder | Gecko Time

as I've read about the enigma syndrome it is passed on from a parent to its siblings....
thankfully the breeders I have dont have Enigma syndrome

I don´t want to sound pushy... it is just one of those subjects I just can´t easily let go of because it affects the life quality of living creatures, the enigma syndrome can appear at any stage of the geckos´s life, there is no way to be ceirtain that it won´t show up in the future... even geckos with very low level of symptoms carry the gene and their offspring will carry it as well, most breeder say their geckos don´t carry the syndrome, but how can they prove it???

This is my last comment about it because I respect everyone else´s right to decide what to do with their pets, just, think about it, and best of lucks.
