Looking for some outside opinions

[Darkrhyno18]

I'm hoping someone has had a similar situation and might be able to help me with a morph.

This little guy below comes from a Tremper Snow het Blizz, Eclipse X Snow Blizzard het RAPTOR. It has a white face, white undersides and feet.

So what is it? Time will obviously sort this out but patience has never been my strong suit


I have it narrowed down to:

Total Eclipse [SS Eclipse] (but in my experience they tend to have a more white background)
Super Snow Blizzard Eclipse
Snow Blizzard Eclipse

Any and all help is appreciated.

Looks like a super snow to me. I don't think its albino and it doesn't scream eclipse to me but it can be difficult or impossible to tell if a super snow is eclipse without test breeding as their eyes are already solid because of the snow. If I'm right its also het blizzard, het tremper and 66% het eclipse.

I would agree with Lisa. It appears to be a Super Snow. A SSE tends to have a white nose, white or pied legs, along with a white tail tip. I don't see an of those markers present. Here is a picture from April of one of our hatchling SS to compare. Sorry its not the greatest picture.

What were some outcomes of the other hatchlings produced from this pairing?

Thanks for the input so far. I will hold off on labeling it eclipse for now and will try and get a better picture with some better lighting. Since the nose tip and feet are all white (More so than the pic indicates) it led me down that path. I will update as she grows.

I'll add to the photo examples! I've hatched out 5 super snows this season and all but one have had cute little white feet. No chance of mine being eclipse but the first teo pictures are from a high white snow with reduced spotting to a bold stripe snow. Second two are from a bold stripe snow x bold stripe snow pairing. All pictures were taken within a week of them hatching. Hope it helps!

I've hatched out 4 Super Snows this season, all from hypo snow x albino snow het eclipse. One had a large white blaze on the nose and white feet so I felt confident it was a total eclipse. One of the other three has white feet but since I don't really see the white nose, it's being labelled a regular Mack snow. I know it's hard to wait, but you'll know pretty soon if it's a super snow or a blizzard depending on whether it gets spotty. My money's on super snow.

This actually helped quite a bit. Looks like she is most likely just a super snow. Thanks for the help! (A picture really is worth a thousand words)

Glad it helped! Would love some update pictures of your snowy baby as it grows! This is my first time hatching super snows and I'm still fascinated by how their color develops!!

Here is an update on the Super Snow. Still not sure how or if the blizzard gene came into play but with the hyper speckling I think it is most likely het for blizzard.

From that pairing and the update pic, it looks like you've got a Super Snow het Blizz & Tremper, 66% het Eclipse. Those speckles are awesome!

 

[DrCarrotTail]

Very cool! I love to see how they develop!

Het blizzards can have a distinct small speckling effect.
