Great looking gecko, but please tell me, what distinguishes a Gem Snow from a Mack Snow? I don't know much about this line of Snow and would certainly like to know more.

Very nice. Hope you can get some good stripes from that project

A Gem Snow is a dominant line of snows. Gem x Gem will give you Gems and Normals. Gem x Mack will yield supers. The Gems when crossed into other traits to exhibit some yellowing but not near as much as the Macks. But Gems have a better success of being able to line breed for a higher white and bold markings. With the Gems not yielding any supers they make a great line for line breeding projects.

This is a great example of what potential the Gems really do have

Oh, man. I love that Gecko. That is gorgeous.

Gem x Mack will yield supers.

So, assuming that the Gem Snows resulted randomly and were not a by-product of Mack Snows (correct me if I'm wrong), they are somehow still genetically linked to Macks?

Oh, and that is a sweet looking gecko above. Nice light silver coloration, I definitely see a distinction now. Thanks for explaining to me in your previous post.

The gem's are a total different gene but does react with the Co-Dom Snow. Just like TUG Snows and LBS's all make supers when crossed to a Co-Dom Snow

That's pretty amazing and mysterious at the same time... that the different Snow genes, when combined, result in the same; a Mack Super Snow.

If a Gem x Mack cross produces a Mack Super Snow, would that particular Super Snow behave genetically like one (no influence of Gem in offspring if bred)?

Beautiful! I love gem snows!
