Does this look normal to you??

[Coils]

This was just purchased by a friend of mine and marked as a normal. Is this truely normal?? It's so unique!

Could be a real light colored normal but resembles a Line Breed Snow, LBS!

-How long ago did your friend buy this guy?
-Does he have pics of him as a hatchling?

The only problem with snows is that some are hard to tell exactly if they are. Only way to be 100% positive its a snow is to test breed it.

It doesn't look normal to me...but I couldn't tell you what morph it is either. Not very familiar with snows, blizzards, or patternless. =)

That picture is taken directly from FallenAngel's Geckos website. http://www.fallenangelgeckos.com/ Go to available geckos, it's the last gecko pictured. The genetics of the gecko are disclosed right there. The gecko is a normal 50% het for Tremper Albino.

Not to be a party pooper or anything, but do you have permission to be posting Jess's photos?

Well I would think so since I just bought both the geckos yesterday (one for my friend). She is super nice too(Jess) and I am not taking credit for the photo so I dont think it's a big deal.

I know it's genetics are also posted there, but it still doesn't look exactly normal to me. So will it be very light or gain any more color is what I suppose I am asking? Especially since the partens were Mack snow X Snow, how does a normal pop out of that?

Thanks, those do look just like the one purchased for my friend! Beautiful geckos. :main_yes:

One thing that would be helpful to you is to contact Jess and ask her for more information about the gecko's genetics. For instance, i may sell a gecko and describe it as a SHTCT but may not add that one parents is a mack snow (in this case I wouldn't need to because the gecko in question didn't get the mack snow gene and has no snow genetics) or that one parent is a red stripe since the gecko was born banded. I think that the majority of geckos being labeled as "normal" are very different from the original mustard yellow highly spotted wild type. In my case I sometimes label a gecko as "normal" if none of the other categories fit and it approximates yellow color with spotting.

Thanks, that makes sense. I suppose I will ask her sometime if it comes down to breeding him to something else. I just saw him (as well as my friend) and thought he looked super neat for being labeled as something "normal" compared to all the others I've seen.

I am trying to learn more and more about the genetics of leos, but it's proving to be more difficult for me than understanding something like ball python morphs which I can easily do for w/e reason. lol :main_rolleyes:

I think its' just all the different names, for example
mack snow
mack snow patternles
mack super snow ect ect...all the different types!

Looks like a snow to me.

it's not about taking credit or not for the photo. it is about using a photo without the photographers permission. even though the gecko may be yours the photo is not. yeah i am a stickler because i am a photographer as well. you posting her photo without permission from the photographer is copyright infringement. which is also against this sites TOS

Thank you for clarifying Robin. That's exactly what I meant.

I have gotten her permission.
