can anyone post pics of ss raptors

[Ballistic_Balls]

I'm new to leo's and got what I was told is a super snow raptor but now I am not sure. I am unable to post pics now but will try later

this is him

 

[robin]

is this yours?

did you buy this gecko from a reputable breeder?

i was looking at the photos of the super raptors and yours looks more like a super tremper albino or possibly a snow raptor. it looks like the SS raptors are lighter and have a less defined pattern. but i am no expert, i have just seen photos of them.

 

[Ballistic_Balls]

yes and the eyes are solid red

To me personally that animal looks more like a Super Snow albino(most likely tremper) but since all Super Snows have solid eyes(and therefore its difficult to identify whether or not they are eclipse) the only way to tell for sure whether or not its a Super Raptor would be either to know the exact genetic makeup of the parents and/or to test breed it to a raptor. Super Raptor X Raptor would give you Mack Raptors.

oops i added more to my post :O

Yes I got it from a reputable breeder just havnt had time to contact him maybe I wrote the morph down wrong but was sure he said ss raptor

Essentially SSRaptors should be completely white, with red eyes.
Because it seems not even RAPTORs need to be patternless anymore, its something thats going to happen with all RAPTOR combos, for example ive only ever seen a handful of true Novas.

With the SSRaptor it has to be test bred unless you have two proven homozygous SSRaptors otherwise the red solid eye will be caused by the SS and Albino.

I would contact the breeder. Super Raptors are a) not very common, and b) tend to be on the expensive side. The other possibility is that it is a Super Snow Tremper Albino HET raptor, meaning that one of the parents was a true raptor(or mack raptor) and it is unproven genetically whether or not it is in fact a super raptor. There really is no way to visually tell the difference between a true super raptor and a Super snow tremper so either contacting the breeder and getting the exact genetic makeup of the parents or test breeding this animal to a raptor(or mack raptor) would be your best bet.

what should a true nova look like?

Alot of misinfornmation here

A SS raptor is not light and void of pattern. They usually show a reduced pattern(like this one) and vary in color like any other SS tremper varient.

I sold my proven male that gave me 7 mack raptors and (1 non eclipse mack animal that should be a mack raptor also) when bred to a raptor . He looked like a mack tremper

NOVA is a eclipse eyed tremper enigma... AKA a "raptor enigma" . It can have patterning by definition and due in part to the enigma gene usually does.

 

[Ballistic_Balls]

Thanks for all the help but I will still talk to the breeder just to settle my confusion

 

[paulnj]

Agreed..... mine came from mike rekowski last season as a SSTA het raptor. pos SS raptor....

i know what it is but i was wondering what this person deemed an appropriate nova

 

[StatikStepz]

I would personally say that is not a Super Raptor. I own one myself. That looks to me like a Tremper Albino Super Snow.

 

[StatikStepz]

I think you might have misheard the guy and he might have said that it was a Tremper Super Snow HET for Raptor.

Incorrect. You can tell the difference between those 2. The ones that you are thinking of that you CAN'T tell the difference between are Super Raptors and Super Snow PATTERNLESS Albino's.
