While searching for info on leopard gecko morphs i found this:
"...This explains why certain double homozygous forms of reptiles can be incredibly difficult to produce. A well-known example is that of the famous 'Blazing Blizzard' Leopard Gecko. These are nothing more than the two traits of 'Blizzard' and 'Tremper Albino' existing in the homozygous state in one specimen. Learning of the value of these specimens, many breeders quickly bred albino and blizzard specimens together to create the needed double heterozygous specimens. These double hets were then bred together the next year, with breeders expecting the usual one in sixteen offspring to be the 'Blazing Blizzard'. Damn few were produced, with many breeders producing as few as one in two thousand which turned out to be 'Blazing Blizzard'!
While all these breeders understood that something had gone wrong, few understood it was a simple case of trait linkage."

Has anyone ever heard of this before? what do they mean?
Heres all the genetic info they have, but it gets hard to understand in genetics501:
