The offspring will be normal het blizzard. You won’t get double hets because the high yellow gene is not recessive.

IF the HY gene or whatever causes it isn't recessive, would that make it dominant/line bred, and if so, wouldn't you get highyellows that were het bliz?

The hi yellow gene is dominate even though it’s selectively bred for higher amounts of yellow. Any recessive gene bred to it will result in offspring normal het for whatever the recessive gene is. So hi yellow X blizzard = normal het for blizzard.

The babies will probably range from normal to hi yellow but will defiantly carry the blizzard gene.

If you breed one of the offspring to the mother you would get the results below. This is just a probability.

Het blizzard X blizzard:
50% blizzard
50% het blizzards

So every baby produced will either be blizzard or Het for blizzard. The hets will look normal but carry the blizzard gene.

There wouldn't be a chance that their will be a mix coloring between the two.
Then how do all these morphs start? Is there a website?

Do you mean having a blizzard that has spots or something? If you want to try putting those traits into one you just need to selectively bred for that trait.

Just like tangerine albinos. They’re an albino (recessive trait) crossed with a tangerine (line bred trait). Then I think the albino offspring produced are just selectively bred to get the desired trait. With tangerine albinos that’s more tangerine. I not 100% sure on this though because I don’t work with tangerine albinos. Hopefully this will helps you.

Here is a link that might help you. You could also try searching the net for leopard gecko genetics.
