My MSS hatchlings 2012

[100yan]

These are the first clutch-mates for this season hatching from the cross:
MSS x Black Hole 100% het RAPTOR poss Giant

Mack Super Snow 100% het Eclipse (50% het RAPTOR)

Mack Super Snow Enigma 100% het Eclipse (50% het RAPTOR)

I've a question here: as I know, the MSS Eclipse as a hatchling should have white nose and legs. Is the white nose a consistent trait? I am asking, because the leo on the first photo has white legs, but not white nose.

Thank you in advance for your feedback, guys!

the first one looks like a total eclipse to me.

OK, how you recognize it? What is the difference from the pure MMS hatchling?

If you are right, the mother also should be a Total Eclipse, but she does not seem to be:

I don't see eclipse in any of the super snows but I could be wrong. Some Super Snows hatch out whiter than normal. SS Eclipses usually hatch out with a lot more white.

Your SS doesn't have to be homozygous for eclipse to get eclipse offspring. She would just have to be het.

Congratualtions, very pretty Supers either way, lol

Thank your comments and for the nice words!

Yes, indeed :main_rolleyes:

Actually she proved herself as 100% het Eclipse, as I just had a Black Hole hatchling from the same cross!
