A patternless albino has both the genes of a patternless gecko and any strain of albino gecko. When you breed the two together you get normal looking geckos that are double het for patternless and albino. When you breed those double hets to each other, you should have about a 6% chance of producing a patternless albino. I suggest getting a group of albino het for patternless or patternless het for albino. That way your chances of producing a patternless albino increase to 25% (or 1 in every 4 eggs).

If you decide to get a group, its good to get a patternless het albino male, and the rest albino het patternless females. This way, you can easily know exactly what your offspring would be. For example, if the baby was normal looking, you know its going to be a normal het patternless het albino (double het). If its an albino, you know its going to be albino het patternless. If its regular patternless its going to be patternless het albino. And last but not least it could be the Patternless Albino. 25% chance of each. If you were to start with an albino het patternless male and albino het patternless females, you'd get all albinos and it would be impossible to know exactly what type of genes they carry (because the albino babies would either be plain albinos or het patternless). Good luck!
