which two gecko morphs make a blizzard?

[ZeroXIII]

I'm thinking of breeding blizzard geckos but not sure how their genetics work. I hear its a recessive gene and if you breed a blizzard with any other morph the geckos would come out looking like the non-blizzard.

That's true. In order to get a blizzard you need to breed 2 geckos that each have 1 or 2 copies of the blizzard gene. Very often, though, geckos with one blizzard gene copy come out more speckled than the average gecko. You could breed the offspring (assuming that one of the parents is a blizzard) back to the blizzard parent to get blizzards in the next generation.

So its possible to inbreed the geckos? the offspring bred with the parent.

Limited inbreeding is OK with geckos. Many breeders develop a particular trait by inbreeding for a generation or two but are sure after that to outcross to an unrelated gecko to insure there is enough genetic variation.
