New Hatch...morph?

[Don&SallysZoo]

Well we've just had 4 new ones hatch out. One of them is way darker than any of it's siblings we've hatched out. Curious on morph thoughts...

Parents are Tremper Albino(Male) X High Yellow(Female)


Here's the pic of this little guy.

Did you hatch the High yellow yourself, its very possible it could be a washed out Snow instead of a High Yellow.

I would have to agree with that

No we didn't hatch any of our breeders.

Thanks for the thoughts....:main_thumbsup:

How can a Mack Snow come from a Tremper albino and a high yellow? I would say it's just a Wildtype gecko (100% het. Tremper albino) with a very different and cool pattern. It looks like it's going to be melanistic-ish. I think the chance of being that is much bigger than the chance that you bought a Mack Snow without knowing it's a MackSnow.... Very nice animal though!

Greets,

Well adult Mack often look normalish right? So it could be possible.
Easiest way is testbreeding.

All of our adult breeders actually was given to us by someone who was not able to care for them any longer, due to an illness. So I am not up to par on my leo morphs...so one of our females could very well be a Mack Snow...they look high yellowish to me, but from what I am gathering adult Macks look normal.

We have a albino that hatched about a month ago and it looks totally different than our last albino we hatched last November. Here's a pic of the newest albino....Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like this is a Mack Snow Tremper Albino?

The other Albino we hatched last November is this...

Hmm well an albino Mack Snow would hatch out pink and white

 

[supperl]

thats a normal albino. It has yellowish parts and a Mack wouldn´t.
I had a Bell from Bell*MSB which was so light with it´s yellow that I thought it could be a Mack but it turns out Bell.

Ah...OK so a Mack albino doesn't have any yellow. Still looks different to the other albino, but I guess there is some variations within Albinos.

Can you post a pick of the poss. high yellow parent. That would gives us a little bit better idea. Thanks

I agree that the white and black looks mack snow to me too. In rare instances premature animals lack color, but I doubt that's the case.

OK, here's a photo of 3 of the possible moms, the Albino in this pic is Dad. I'm assuming that Dad here is a Tremper Albino? Also have 3 other potential moms, one of them is an just like Dad.

Here's another potential mom. This pic is an older pic, but still the same looking.

I know potential...hey we house these guys in a group setting. They all seem to be fine in this set-up. Also the last potential female is fairly big...last weight I believe was 110 grams, coloration and pattern appear to be like all of these others.

The most likely reason for the two different colored albinos is incubation temperature. Low incubation temps cause darker colors on the albinos, some people call these "dookie trempers". High incubation temps cause brighter colors. From my understanding this only occurs with the Tremper Albino, so I would say that yes you have a Tremper Albino.
