Hi. Can you tell me what morph is it? Parents are Mack Snow Tremper Albino het raptor and Sunglow het Raptor.

Few days after hatch:

Two months later:

Are the eyes solid, snake eye or normal? Is there any chance that the Sunglow is also a Mack Snow (I have a breeder that I bought as an Aptor and it turned out to be a Mack snow as well, since I got super snows when I paired it with a snow). It's a snow as far as I can tell, and, of course an albino. The fact that it hatched with no markings and now has stripes makes me wonder if it could be a super snow (which is why I asked the question above).

I have not yet had a non-super snow gecko hatch with absolutely no pattern on both tail and body, which makes me think it could be a supersnow. I've hatched 5 of these (supersnow albino, possibly eclipse as well):



technically it could be called a "super raptor" but I'm hesitant to do that because I can't tell for sure whether or not it's an eclipse since it has solid eyes due to being a super snow.

I also see a raptor that's a possible snow. The albino super snows that I've hatched are very white/pink when they hatch and show no yellow as they grow. They're white and black or brown/tan depending on if they're albino or not.

So far, even after 2 months, my albino super snows have not developed any brown pattern and remain white.

The parents are Mack snow Tremper het eclipse x Mack snow Tremper patternless stripe het eclipse (aka "snow aptor het raptor").

It is a mack tremper eclipse.


So are you saying that if it were a mack snow tremper non-eclipse it would develop beige striping, but if it's an eclipse it won't develop beige striping? I expected these guys to hatch pure white (like the non-tremper mack super snows hatch pale silver), but I was expecting that they would eventually develop beige striping just like the non-albino super snows develop black striping.

No? I'm saying that the animal in question from the original post, based on the overall coloration and morphogenic development, it a mack tremper eclipse.
Hatching with the washed out patternless stripe being the first clue, suggesting it to be very likely eclipse, but not definite yet. But with the development- overall typical patternless stripe changes, washed out face and legs, and what I presume to be largely eclipsed eyes.

Parents are MS tremper Albino het. raptor and Sunglow het Raptor - I'm 100% sure.

How about Snowglow Raptor? Mack Snow Hypo Tremper Albino Eclipse.

Eyes are solid red.

I personally stray from using line names with my animals, as there are specific 'snowglow' lines. And labeling a first generation animal from a pairing not aimed to produce animals that do the name justice, is misleading.

But I'm a person that doesn't even use combo morph names. So take it as you will. I prefer complete transparency.

"Sunglow" refers to a superhypo gecko that started out banded and lost the contrasting color. Technically, "raptor" refers to a patternless stripe gecko, so I don't think you can really say "sunglow raptor".
