I just love the 'Bow Tie Bells'! That's so cute!

My thoughts exactly! Beautiful!

Thanks Jess, Paul, Michelle and Jessica!

The "bow ties" get pretty cool as they grow...

Very cool bow tie snow bells, Michael:main_yes: But do they lose their bow ties as they mature? love snow bells......actually anything bell:main_thumbsup:

But do they lose their bow ties as they mature?

See the pic above your post...

Btw, I'm totally not claiming this to be a morph, trait, gene, etc... Just a funny occurrence I hadn't noticed elsewhere... :main_thumbsup:

 

[ARgeckos]

Cool....nice pattern as adults:main_yes:

 

[eyelids]

Definitely! I hope I can hatch a couple to keep for myself this year... Only have one Snow Bell female for it since my males are gone... She should make some cool Bells when paired with my Jungle/Stripe male...

awesome snow bells!

Thanks Kyle!

This is going to be a very "newbie question" but what exactly are the parents of the Snow Bell babies?

Is it as simple as pairing a Bell with a Mack Snow and if so what is the percentage of Snow Bells that can hatch?

I ask because I did pair my Bell female with my Mack Snow male- because they are both beautiful mature healthy geckos
It wasn't really done with much thought on the result of the cross of the two morphs
I just want healthy babies-lol!

Will I get any Snow Bells from this pairing or does that come in the next generation with breeding the babies and their resulting offspring will be Snow Bells?

Thanks for putting up with my ignorance in genetics

Sandy, to get snow bells you need at least both of the geckos carrying the Bell gene and one of them carrying the Mack gene.

From your cross, you will get 50% normals and 50% Macks, all of them 100% het Bell.

If your Mack snow had been het Bell, you would have got 25% normals het Bell, 25% snows het Bell, 25% Bells and 25% Snow Bells.

My snow male also has a "pinched" pattern like that. The female is even more junglish. As Dan said, most snows have weird patterns.

Cool-thanks for the answer -that is what I thought but I just wasn't sure

I'll be happy with normal looking hets and of course I love Mack's so it sounds good to me
