Question about line bred snow(GEM SNOW)

Hey all, so i was wondering since i am pairing my two snows i collected together in a few months; would it be better in the next generation to maybe breed back in the specific line the fathers snow genetics contain? . I know mixing snows isn't all that good but i was trying to go for a super snow and didn't realize the male was a gem. The geckos parents were a Giant MackSnow X Giant Gemsnow. Is the one I have a giant gem snow then?Another question is since I already have a female Mack Snow coming, I would be crossing Giant Gem Snow X Mack Snow, right? Should i breed the offspring with another gem snow(or father) to strengthen the Gem genetics? Also if i was lucky enough to produce a Super, would it be a Super Gem Snow or just a Super MackSnow?

Gem snows do not produce supers, the only line that produces supers are the mack snows.
If you pair a Giant Mack Snow with a Giant Gem Snow you will get Mack Snows, Gem Snows and normals... the thing is that when they are adults they are very similars, and you can only test breed to see if your male is a Mack Snow or a Gem Snow.... If you have a female Mack Snow, if your male turns out to be a mack snow, you will get super mack snows on your F1.

So in theory if i have just a giant mack snow and breed it to the mack snow then I could have supers and if i dont have any supers, then the giant could possibly be a gem?

Awesome! Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Now I can't wait for the weather to clear up so my female can come and I can take pictures to post of the pairing!
