does this look like the marble eye?
it does to me, but i'm biased.

i have eggs incubating from this gal
she's a possible giant reverse stripe mack snow het tremper ph eclipse and i mated her to my best raptor male

Doesnt look like a Marble Eye to me and if you didnt get her directly from the source, then it's pretty near impossible. The eye looks more of an Enigma eye, it has the horozontal fading that is common. Guess you'll see when her hatchlings pop out

if it's a recessive trait, it won't show until the f2 generation

I meant about the Enigma. It's hard to distinguish if they are or aren't sometimes when they're adults.

there's no question that it is an enigma since i hatched it. same animal shown in my avatar, actually. produced here in 2009 from a tremper albino enigma het eclipse x giant mack het raptor parents.
i'd also bet that you're right about it not being anything special, i just thought it looked pretty similar to one of the pics of a marble eye that i saw. for the same mutation to pop up in different collections around the same time would be a bit farfetched, though i'm pretty sure most major breeders buy/sell/trade among themselves which could increase the odds in favor from millions to one down to thousands to one. lol.

the marbled eye gene popped out of a group of Matt's rainwaters didn't it? pretty unlikely for it to have been bred into the trempers so early.

 

[ElapidSVT]

it originated in a tremper sunglow line according to the geckotime article

Marbled eye popped out of Matts Trempers. From what I understand he's working on getting the albino out of it and starting fresh.

If that's her baby picture, then she is a SS Enigma. It's neat what the Enigma gene does to the body pattern and color as well as what it does to the eyes

it can't possibly be a super snow since only one parent was a snow
