Mack Snow Albino & Super Snow Albino

[stinky]

Quoted from The Leopard Gecko Wiki:


"A Mack Snow Albino is a Mack Snow crossed with anyone of the three albino strains."

"The Mack Snow Albinos have acted as sort of a gateway to other new combination morphs. Currently there are Super Snow Albinos ..."

"A Super Snow Albino is a combination morph of 1 homozygous incomplete dominate morph and a homozygous recessive morph, the Mack Snow and any of the three albino strains."

Is there a mistake in that?? Maybe Super Snow Albino is from Super Snow x Albino, and not Mack Snow x Albino??:main_huh:

Super Snow and Mack snow are the same mutation, Super Snows are the homozygous form, and Mack Snows are the heterozygous form.

Since Mack Snow Albino is the gateway to Super Snow Albinos, what do you cross with it?

Mack Snow Albino x Albino or
Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow or
Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow Albino or
Simply
Super Snow x Albino??

 

[stinky]

Super Snow and Mack snow are the same mutation, Super Snows are the homozygous form, and Mack Snows are the heterozygous form.

So ...

Mack Snow x Albino = % of Mack Snow Albino + % of Super Snow Albino :main_huh:

Since Mack Snow Albino is the gateway to Super Snow Albinos, what do you cross with it?

Mack Snow Albino x Albino or
Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow or
Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow Albino or
Simply
Super Snow x Albino??

Mack Snow Albino x Albino=
50% Albino
50% Mack Snow

Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow=
25% Normal het Albino
50% Mack Snow het Albino
25% Super Snow het Albino

Super Snow x Albino=
100% Mack Snow het Albino

None of these will result in Super Snow Albinos unless you breed 2 Super Snow het Albino's you will get a % of Super Snow Albinos.

 

[Taquiq]

So ...

Mack Snow x Albino = % of Mack Snow Albino + % of Super Snow Albino :main_huh:

Mack Snow x Albino= 50% Normal het Albino, 50% Mack Snow het Albino. Since Albino is recessive it is het if not paired with another Albino. Mack Snow is dominant so there will be 50% Mack Snow if paired with another morph.

 

[Tony C]

To get Super Snows both parents must be Mack Snows or Super Snows.

Mack Snow x Albino will get you half Mack Snows het Albino and half Normal het Albino.

There are many ways to get Super Snow Albinos, you can cross Mack Snow Albino x Mack Snow Albino, Mack Snow albino x Mack Snow het Albino, Mack Snow het Albino x Mack Snow het Albino, Super Snow Albino x Super Snow Albino, Super Snow Albino x Super Snow het Albino, Super Snow Albino x Mack Snow Albino, Super Snow Albino x Mack Snow het Albino, Super Snow het Albino x Mack Snow Albino, Super Snow het Albino x Mack Snow het Albino. Percentages will vary based on the combo, Super Snow Albino x Super Snow Albino being the best (100% Super Snow Albino), and Mack Snow het Albino x Mack Snow het Albino being the worst (only 6.25% Super Snow Albino).

It is important that both parents are the same strain of Albino, as the three strains are not compatible with each other.

Thanks guys ... I think I get it.

So, the below sentence is not true, cause you will not be able to create any types of Super Snows!!

"A Super Snow Albino is a combination morph of 1 homozygous incomplete dominate morph and a homozygous recessive morph, the Mack Snow and any of the three albino strains."

The sentence is true. Mack Snow is the incomplete dominant morph, with Super Snow being the homozygous form, and the albino strains are the recessive morph. The sentence is not saying that Super Snow Albinos are made directly by crossing a Mack Snow with an Albino, it is saying that a Super Snow Albino is a gecko which carries two copies of the Mack Snow gene and two copies of an Albino gene. Both parents must carry at least one copy of each gene to create a Super Snow Albino.

I love you Tony... this whole post I've been like "What are they talking about???"... but what you just said makes sense now... THANKS!

Glad I could help

Ohhhhhh ... now I understand.

Thanks!!:main_thumbsup:
