A question about Mack Snows...

I recently purchased a leopard gecko from a reptile shop. I'm new to this whole 'morph' idea and wasn't entirely sure how it worked. After research, I found the morph that I wanted. I bought a Mack Snow. I don't think it's 100% Snow though. Here's where I need help.

She has a sort of yellow tinge to her, and I'm wondering if she'll turn more white, or if I just have a yellowish Mack snow.

Oh also here's a picture.
Thanks!

It can be impossible to tell adult mack snows from normals. Usually only really well bred mack snows stay black and white into adulthood. There is no way to tell for sure if you have a mack snow or not unless you have baby pics, so it would come down to how reputable the shop you bought her from is and how much you trust them to be accurate with genetic info.

Looks healthy, though. =)

Thanks! Yeah the shop said she was around 7 months old. I try to keep her healthy.

She doesn't look like a snow to me but like Neon said it can be tough to tell once they're older. Usually mack snow causes a paler or muted yellow color but not always. Only way to know for sure is to test breed and see if any babies hatch out black and white. Pretty gal either way!
