I am planning on breeding my bell females to a blizzard male this summer, and breeding the double hets in 2005 and I have a few questions. I would really appreciate any light you guys can shed on the subject

Are albino bell blizzards as hard to produce as the albino tremper blizzards? What about albino rainwater blizzards?

Someone posted earlier that if two blazing blizzards were bred together all of the offspring would not be blazing blizzards. I think I understand what they are saying when they said that not all blazing / albino blizzards would have red eyes just like not all tremper albinos have red eyes. But wouldn't all the offspring from two homozygous recessives be albino blizzards?

And, in terms of naming things correctly I've always taken albino blizzards and blazing blizzards to be the same thing. Or, are only red-eyed albino blizzards considered blazing blizzards?

Thanks a lot!

Bell albino blizzards are just as hard/easy to make as any other albino morph. If you bred the two double homozygous only the red eyed ones would be blazing blizzards. Go to leopardgecko.com and read the article about incubation temps.

I've read tremper's article. When I said hard, I was referring to the fact that when you breed two double hets for tremper and blizzard you don't get anywhere near the expected 1:16 ratio.

I was wondering if this case was similar to tremper patternless. Rainwater patternless albino double hets seem to conform to the expected and 1 out of 16 hatchlings is a patternless abino, but tremper patternless albinos are much harder to produce.

I was also disturbed when someone said that the out come of breeding two blazing blizzards would not be 100% blazing blizzards (I took this to mean that not all the babies would be albino blizzards) if this is the case there must be something else going on; or maybe the individual was wrong?
