I didn't get any pics of the eggs, but trust me when I say they were HUGE! The one this hatchling came from in particular was very odd.. instead of plumping up, and becoming fatter in width, this egg grew length-wise.

The egg was SO long, I didn't think anything would end up hatching from it.. but sure enough, there was a head sticking out this morning!

This is Neptune, a Super Snow.. and it's HUGE! I haven't weighed it yet, but I don't think I've ever seen a Super Snow hatchling this big before.. the tail is even fat, like it's been eating well and is a few weeks old! This baby literally just hatched only a few hours ago.

Beautiful geckos! That's a nice healthy baby! I'm waiting for a huge egg to hatch right now, too.

I did Rick, and it only weighs 3 grams.. so that's a pretty average weight, but it still LOOKS big!! LOL.. we'll see how it grows and develops, sometimes the babies get as big as daddy (over 110 grams), so we're keeping our fingers crossed on this one ;)

We don't, we call them all "snows" because it is impossible. The reason we did this project was because we wanted to create high white snows, the whitest we possibly could :) It's been working out well.. I know some people have a problem with mixing the two, but.. I really like the results we've gotten :)

Wow, congrats Jess. They look awesome!
Seems the chance of getting SS from LBS x Mack is pretty high! Is this the 2nd SS out of 8 babies?

Thank you everyone!

Thanks Bonnie :heart: This makes 3 out of 13 babies! I guess we just get really lucky? I know our female is indeed Line Bred because she came from direct descendants of Albey's line.. so it's pretty crazy, because Albey himself said his odds were 6%. Although, I'm sure he produced many more babies than we have.

Wow Jess, that's one big SS. SS's typicaly hatch on the lite side so the fact that that gecko is huge is a major accomplishment!

Nice white snow too!
