How to tell apart Snows?

Hi I got myself a hatchling over the weekend. It's black and white but I cannot figure out if it's a Mack, TUG, or Gem. Is it possible or do I have to wait till it gets older.

Sorry I don't have pics yet

gem and tug snows are quite rare compared to Mack snows and the seller would have marked it as such when marketing. You have a mack if it is indeed a snow.

I've obtained more information from the breeder. He said he bred his two males a Tremper and Enigma to 4 females at time (different morphs) . I'm pretty sure I have a Mack Snow (black and white bands). Enigmas are dominant right? So does that only mean Tremper male? When he says Tremper he means Albino right?

Do you know what he sold it to you as? If it came from the Tremper male then it is het Tremper as well. It could have easily come from the enigma though, even though enigma is dominant it doesnt mean he had to pass the trait to the females as it is highly unlikely that a homozygous enigma was used.
If the gecko is black and white it is a Mack Snow. Like Paul said, if it was TUG or GEM the breeder would have labeled the gecko as such and made a bigger deal out of it. Gem snows are pretty rare...
