This might sound a silly question but here I go. I just wondered if tug snow tremper would have solid eyes or would there be eclipse in there aswell? Not sure if they are black eyes or red as its just a hatchling just look really different compared to a snow tremper might look a bit different after its first shed but its eyes just got me thinking because I have a mac snow tremper and it hasn't got solid eyes.

Thanks Bryan

Just had a good look at it and it has solid red eyes so I think it's ether a snow raptor or a snow tremper eclipse.

I believe tug snow is a line bred trait? Not sure if it's codom like Mack snow. Anyhow only the super snow form of Mack snow has solid eyes and I would assume if tug snow is codom as well it would only have solid eyes in super form too.

As far as I know tug has not super form. Only the mack snow does. Tug snow is line breed and mack snow is codom. Your also not suppose to mix the snows you can't tell them apart. Most people who work with tugs don't like the super form and they do not produce one. Hope that helps.

O but mixing any of the other 3 snows with a mack snow can produce a super snow. All supers have solid blk eyes with or with out the eclipse gene. Now I'v not read anything about mack snows always having soild eye. That being said some told me other wise the other day. As far as my research go's nothing says anything about macks having solid eyes just the super form. So if that is the case the eclipse gene would have to be present for it to have solid eyes. Mack snows also are one of the only geckos that can not temp sexed consistently. O and Tug snow is a dominant trait. I was in a hurry answering last night. If it has solid red eyes than it is prob a raptor. What are the parents suppose to be?

Can you post pics of the animal? Especially the face. And what was the pairing? Are you positive the are pure TUG snows? If I remember correctly, a TUG crossed with a Mack can produce supers.
