Its a Snow after all...

[robin]

Very true!

However, alot of the traits this possesses makes me lean towards it being one. I can simply make this educated guess because i have been around alot of Mack Snow hatchlings... seen alot of them from either my own babies, or a friend of mine's hatchlings, and bred alot of Mack Snows myself.

ok wait, give me an idea of how many snows you have had experience with?

i just want to know so to see if it is a significant enough amount

You guys are the experts, so I rest my case. I don't have a picture of him hatching out though. The breeder told me he hatched out all white. I got him (first photo) when he was 10 days old already.

Thank you all for the enlightenment.

thats BS i know you aimed that at me. you dont need any experience with macks or any of the others to know they hatch out white adn black.

thats a different storry. completely diferent. if that guy said it was hatched out white then it most likely is a snow. and thats awesome. i have seen plenty of snows start to yellow out after only one shed. so yeah awesome!! you probably got a snow on your hands

 

[StatikStepz]

no, a lot of snows are not born with yellow. thats the whole idea of mack snows, the fact that they are born white and black

Tou Che. I know what a Mack Snow looks like. Some gain yellow, some lose yellow. You can't sit here and tell me this isn't true. I have seen it with my own eyes, lol. And i'm not the only one. A couple other people on that link i posted said the same thing.

 

[nevinm]

it has nothing to do with gaining or losing yellow. i even agreed with that above. i and even fe were refering to straight out of the egg. they are white adn black right out of the egg.

no i aimed that at StatikStepz, nevin. he said he had a lot of experience with snows

But the yellow coloration can happen as fast as 10 days? Sounds too soon right? Hehe...

my bad!!!!

Well, let's see here... i would say AT THE LEAST, more than 150 of them.

I used to own nothing but Mack Snows (at one point, i had 11 breeders at the same time), cuz at the time, i thought they were the coolest things ever, (lol, don't hate)... Started with 2, bred them, and kept all the babies and grew those babies up and bred them... And a buddy of mine was the same thing. Pretty much all he had was a colony of 10-15 snows... Snows were mainly what i started out with... But obviously, as things got crazier and crazier w/ all the babies that were coming out, i ust had them in shoeboxes, and took them to local pet stores and sold groups of them to em for like $10 or so, or donoted groups of them to local schools, or just gave them out to any friend of mine that wanted some.

However, i wish i had known then about all these internet sites that i know of now where i can post em up in the classified sections... cuz i woulda made more money than i did. lol

Any given rate, i think that makes me a LITTLE knowledgable on the subject at hand to make that kind of a guess.

ok so now the question remains if the gecko hatched out all white (snow); in ten days can a baby develop that much melanin?

ok at least thats the question in my mind LOL

 

[nevinm]

IMO, and again ill say.... IMO yes that seems WAAAAAAY too fast. especially how yellow that animal is. like i said you can see the yellow start to wash out after the fist shed, which can happen as soon as 5 days. BUT for how yellow that animal is after 10 days, i dont think its a snow. just hang on to it and breed it. hopefully it is a male. you can breed it to a normal (NON mack), and if you get all normals you know its a normal. if you even even JUST one mack snow then you'll know that it is indeed a show. but IMO i dont think it will turn out to be a snow

 

[StatikStepz]

...oh, and all we used for an incubator was a garbage can (the small plastic kind that you see under a desk in an office)... with vermiculite in the bottom of it, and plastic wrap sealing the top of it to keep in the moisture! lmao

 

[robin]

yeah and? i have incubated geckos (and hatched them) in a rubbermaid sitting on top of my fridge. i do not see what that has to do with this thread

I second this haha!

I trust the breeder cause he is a very good friend of mine and I suppose he won't lie to me about this. Hehe.

 

[nevinm]

ya know what. i got the same marical grow as the biggest breeders. send that animal to me ill breed it with the next 3 months and we can settle it.

 

[robin]

LOL

you can send it my way....

lol, it doesn't, i was just tryin to lighten the mood here, sheesh! lmao

i just thought it funny thinking back on it, cuz practically no1 uses that method now with all the incubators that are out there, and as far as breeding geckos has come, lol...

I feel like we are in Salem rite now, and i am the Witch! lmao

 

[gidferrer]

Cool it guys hehe... Let's just say its an enigma as for now.

 

[robin]

not just an enigma but a GORgeous enigma!

Cool it guys hehe... Let's just say its an enigma as for now.

If sold to you as a Snow Enigma at this point I would call it an Enigma poss mack snow untill proven out.
