Do they all look like this? Hatchling ID

[Halley]

Okay I got this clutch today. From a Mack Snow Rainwater Patternless x Snow Patternless, het Rainwater. I believe the hatchlings to be Super Snow Patternless, het Rainwater, and Rainwater Patternless.

The super snow has to be a patternless since both parents are homozygous for the patternless allele. But do most SSPA hatch out looking like a SS? Do they just start to get whiter when they get older?

Wow! It'd be awesome if he/she just stayed purple.

your ID is correct.

Alright Great!

Thanks, Paul

So that LV patternless isn't a snow? I know they are lighter than TPAs, but thats even lighter than I thought they'd be. are the snow LVPAs completely white as hatchlings?

No not a snow.

Thanks, Mike & Jess. I’m pretty glad I got one also, but I’m still really hoping for a SSPARW. But if these guys turn out male I’m selling both. And I’m pretty sure both will turn out male, they where cooked at 88, and the SS has the snow rule for temp sex going on.

 

[fallen_angel]

We had a snow that was cooked at 88 and ended up being female, they just don't like to follow the rules

That would be pretty amazing to produce a SSPARW, we will be waiting another year or two before we ever produce one of those

Gotten much whiter already

Then

Now

Looks like a Mack Snow Blizzard to me. Maybe even a SS Blizzard

That's a super patty, but they do look very blizzard like. I have SS rw patty and SS rw blizz and I defy anyone to tell the difference between them.
