In May this year I hatched a very odd little leo, very unexpected!
The mum was a normal (wasnt aware of hets) obviously she was het albino but what else is going on. I dont believe she was a poor mack snow and neither does the prevous owner who bought her direct from the breeder.
heres the mum
her father was a blazing blizzard but was very very white! He was unfortunately also blind. Both parents had normal eyes.
without knowing hets i was expecting normals het albino and blizzard. Since nearly all my eggs collapsed in a new incubator i wasnt expecting my last and only egg to even survive!
then this hatched, scuse the water she managed to get under the tray and into about an inch of water, due to the colour and the ability to "swim" she was named after my dinner which i was putting out at the time, a prawn curry!!
heres prawn out the egg
first question was where did the mack snow come from? the abberant pattern? the stripe down her tail?
2 weeks
developing a visible dorsal stripe?
Definately showed a stripe from neck to tip of tail by 2 months
4 months
now at 5 months
she also displays eclipse eyes :main_huh:
any ideas are welcome, the only suggestion made by breeders is an albino calico. Ron tremper agreed that she was an oddball and did indeed fit the bill of a calico.
