Mack snow/super snow combinations - need ideas!

[Elisa]

I have one super snow female and was pondering possible morph combinations. Any ideas or favorites folks?

I am a huge fan of Mack Enigmas...they look really nice (esp if you have a high white snow). So anything Enigma would be good in my opinion. If you are not wanting Enigma then go with something with a pattern (reverse stripe, jungle, bold stripe...) so your snows will have some nice pattern to them.

I also am a big fan of mack and super snow enigmas. Bold stripe Macks as well. I also really like Super Snow and Mack Eclipse, Black Holes are one of my favorite morphs.

I LOVE bold stripe macks. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Put me on your waiting list?

Super Snow Eclipse, because everything should be Eclipse.

I was leaning away from the enigma gene because of the neurological disorder associated with it. I was thinking Jungles, the patterns are intriguing to be sure. I have heard that the stripes are just a variation of jungle which is polygenic. Does anyone have experience breeding jungles themselves?

Nice, lol ^_^ The super snows already have solid black eyes associated with the trait, how would you know which ones were the eclipse ones? haha

I produced several Jungle Mack Snows this year by breeding a SS to a Jungle Tremper.

The non-Jungle siblings had the typical banded pattern.

A super Snow Eclipse will have a white nose, and usually a speckled tail.

Heres a Super Snow Eclipse..

If you get a stripe to breed with the supersnow, you have a fair chance of getting stripes and jungles. My hypo Mack snow has produced quite a number of stripes and jungles when bred to a stripe. I don't know if it's because he has stripe in his genetics or if the Mack snow gene facilitates stripes. One thing to keep in mind is that with a super snow (unless you know what the parents look like) you don't know what colors it has in its genetics. I had a male supersnow breeder for a few years who produced supersnows with that lovely pinstripe pattern, but most of the regular snows were a disappointing yellow/gray color. I've since replaced him (as a breeder) with a hypo Mack snow with pale yellow coloring and the resulting snow offspring has much nicer color.

I was thinking of getting a super snow male and having him breed my super snow female, jungle female, and hypo het tremper female. I will have to carefully consider which male to get though If I get fantastic patterns I might still get low color. Decision decisons
