A VERY Unique Mack Snow

[justindh1]

Out of 16 hatchlings that have hatched this season I have only caught one hatch and it was the last one. They knew when I wasn't there and would always hatch then, lol! This mack snow is the first one i've seen hatch and it has to be the my favorite hatchling so far. Is it me or is this little guy a unique mack snow? It came from my SHTCT X MAck Super Snow pairing. All my other hatchling from this pair have been normal looking snows until this little guy. I am super excited to see what "IT" grows up to look like. Almost looks enigmaish to me but I know 100% that it isn't. It will be interesting to see how it changes.

Thanks everyone for your comments! :main_thumbsup: I'll add more pics after he sheds!

that's one fat and healthy little mack snow baby! nice pattern too... she should be nice and hypo for you - hopefully she'll have nice contrast too!

So he finally shed for the first time. Lightened up quite a bit. I love the little 8 on the top of his head. I have some questions about the eyes tho. They are all black and don't look like normal eyes. All my other snows came out with normals eyes but this one is all black. Theres no eclipse genetics in any of my animals except the new babies i picked up last weekend. Do mack snows sometimes have black eyes and turn lighter after a few weeks?

Agreed. :main_yes:

He does look enigmaish to me too but its not. I'm not messing with those genetics anytime soon. Thats what has me excited bout this guy. He looks like he has other genetics in him but i know he is just a hypo-snow or should be anyways. He came from my female Mack Super Snow and a male SHTCT.

Edited- Has anyone seen a mack have solid black eyes as a hatchling?

You're right Justin, your Hypo Mack does a great Enigma impression. Very nice.

NO ENIGMAS THERE... HMMMM

 

[justindh1]

i know for sure 100% that its not an enigma. Everyone knows what my opinionated views are of them so we can scratch that idea out. I really need to wait longer to see whats gonna happen to his eyes and body pattern. It could just be a differant looking hypo-snow whos eyes will change to normal but it could be something differant. I don't want to get excited about nothing so I am letting him be a hypo-snow right now until he relly shows me differant.

How long have you had the parents? Could just be a weird Hypo MS. Could have unknown Eclipse hets for parents. Could be retained Enigma sperm from a previous breeding. More details will shorten the list of possibilities.

I'm stumped- nice enigma non enigma. haha. it's a looker.
