yeah, it looks more like a super snow to me but the breeder is selling it as a super eclipse either way im going to buy her though i wont be getting more pics 2maro and well it is more lil bit more whiter than a regular super snow right? but for once id like to know the exact morph without questioning it xD cuz i have another super snow morph and people say its a super snow tremper and the breeder says its a super snow sunglow and well thats a different story but yeah its not looking like a super eclipse cuz the have whiter around the nose and face right?

super snow eclipse has a white nose and white legs, just like a regular eclipse does.

Some have more white on the nose, making a white face, or a white tail tip and completely white legs.

I don't think anyone is saying there is no way it's an eclipse, it's just that the physical attributes are not there to indicate it is. It's hard to differentiate between a Super Snow and and Eclipse as far as the eyes go, because SS's have solid black eyes, too. The things that would indicate it's an eclipse would be a white nose and solid white feet and legs, which your gecko does not exhibit. It could be het eclipse, but to me it looks like a very beautiful Mack Super Snow.

Well, it would be a fun project to prove out the eclipse genes if you were to breed her to a homozygous eclipse male! Either way, I have a very soft spot in my heart for pretty Super Snows, and she is VERY nice. ;)

Didnt you have a previous issue with a someone giving you bogus genetics information about a so-called Super Snow Sunglow they sold you? If its the same person, they are doing you and the gecko community disservice by confusing people with misinformation. Id find someone else to do business with if this is the case. Thats just me. Anyways you got a very nice Supersnow, but I wouldnt count on it being eclipse. Not saying it isnt but like the others have said it lacks some of the visual queues a SSE would have like the faded out nose.

no its a different breeder but yes i got confused about it lol and i didnt purchase it, because i had my doubts about it being eclipse and well when i got the recent pics that i posted above, i ended up deciding not to buy it because it didnt resemble the gecko from pics first picture i saw. Also the "super snow sunglow" or tremper is nice even though i was misinformed or w,e but its healthy and i like it.
