At a glance what would you say this gecko is? She has two solid red eyes. I couldnt get pics of the eyes shes very feisty. Ill tell what she was sold as but want some unbiased opinions first.

i know everyone is going to say this is impossible but the breeder swears that the parents were supersnow tremper x supersnow tremper. and there was no way the eggs could have been mixed up. Any thoughts opinions?

It dosen't even look snow to me my snow albinos at that size are usually still very white. There is no way that gecko should have come from that pairing. If one of the parents was a super snow it would be a snow but if both were super snows it would be a super snow.

It looks like a mack snow raptor to me.. I have about 8 of them.. it looks like a reverse stripe? the pattern is goofy... (but WAY cute!!) Explanation... The female COULD have had stored sperm from a previous breeding... ? That is no way a ssxss nuttin. "/

Awesome geckos! :) It will be a fun spring! What are you gonna do with the breeder? He/She is very wrong about where that little gal came from....

I had a similar situation with a resaler. He sold me a gecko that was supposed to be a Super Snow Bell.... it turned out to be a Mack Snow Eclipse with a super snow pattern, but no double copy snow... You will have to breed her to find out for sure.

I doubt ill get anything off of the breeder again, ( i probably wont be buying anymore geckos anytime soon) i got a good deal on this gecko and another pure mack snow so i cant complain, i figured she was a raptor as soon as i saw her so i knew she would make a good mate for my male, i also have a another tremper het raptor for him.

The main reason it couldn't be super snow is that super snow is a form of genetic axanthic, lacking yellow/orange pigment in the 2 copy/homozygous form. That one has yellow, and a little orange, but it is reduced. I think it looks like a snow raptor. It could also just have different colors from paradox or other genes you don't know about
