Super Snow or something different?

Hi,
when I hatched this babe was almost black, i don't have photo. After about a month looks like this:

Today looks like:

Thanks for help.

Looks like a super snow to me. The only other thing they could be is a super snow eclipse but there doesn't appear to be any/enough white on the nose and tail for that.

Agree, Super Snow.

Super Snow, that looks very familiar to the progression of 0ur reduced super snow project. Congrats, it's a beauty

thanks for your help. But I still have doubts. Gecko is getting more and more yellow. Here is a recent photo:

Wow, is that the same gecko? Second picture is not a Super Snow. First picture really did look like a Super Snow. Sorry ):

Very cool! My guess would be its a mack snow but totally looks like my super snows as they grow. The mom of my super snow kiddos is from Thad's reduced snow line so my perception is probably pretty close to his!

I had several geckos this season that started out black, then began to develop lines of black stripes like a supersnow and finally turned yellow. They were Mack snow, usually eclipse. Here's a thread about my first one: http://geckoforums.net/f125-morphs-genetics/99863.htm

She is now completely yellow and if I remember tomorrow night I'll take a picture. You wouldn't believe the difference.

I'm really starting to wonder if we're looking at a different variation of the Mack Snow gene. I know someone else had some Macks that showed this strange development from appearing Super Snow to bright yellow. Sounds a lot like the Mack Pastel development descriptions on here from several years ago.

I have a mack snow male (hyper xanthic) that you can see in my albums. He had no yellow on him at all up until just about the time I took that pic. Since then (about 10 days) his yellow has brightened up a lot. Could that high yellow be passed into the super snow form?

beautiful gecko though!

I would have guessed super snow, too, but seeing the newest picture, I'll go with mack snow.

Here are progression pictures for 2 of my geckos that were born very dark. Both of them have been featured in threads I started when they hatched.

Both are from the same parents: hypo Mack snow het eclipse x Tremper albino super hypo eclipse blood cross

First the "mystery gecko" that started out looking like a supersnow but isn't:

In April:

In May:

In November:

Second the one where I wrote "too bad she won't stay this dark":
In Sept:

In November:

How's That?!
