OMG!! I just about died when I saw this blizzard today! I really, really, really wasn't looking to get a new gecko - I swear! I was just going in for a rat for Bob. As soon as you see her, you'll know why I flipped out.

So far, she seems a little Dr. Jeckyll, Mr. Hyde. When I was examining her at the shop, she didn't make a peep, didn't struggle or run. 2nd time I handle her, she's full of screams and threats. 3rd time, doesn't have a care in the world. 4th time, she screamed and bit me, then calmed right down. LOL She can't decide if she wants to be your typical holy terror of a blizzard, or be nice.

This first picture of her she's in her pissed off colors....I don't know if that's as dark as she gets, but at the store she was a pale pink (not quite white). There is hardly any yellow at all, which I LOVE!!! Also, looks like 2 eclipse eyes. One eye I think might be a funky snake eye, but the camera didn't pick it up and I don't have time at the moment to look at her in better light. She's just a little girl at 7.5g. The part I can't belive is that I stole her for $30 bucks....what an awesome find!!

Enough talking! Picture time.

Such a beauty! I love her pink color, I actually prefer blizzards with a bit of pink than the very white ones.

It sure will be neat. I hatched a snake eyed Mack Snow from my snake eyed Blizzard female x Mack Snow Pastel het Bell male. It's obviously not recessive and I don't think it's co-dom because only one out of six of her babies has them. There's still one more clutch incubating from her. She was also possible het Bell, but I struck out there. I'm really looking forward to my other Blizzard possible het Bell because she has two solid black eyes. I'm hoping to get lucky and hatch a red eyed Mack Snow Bell! :main_evilgrin:

Time for more pictures! Wow, I am just so in love! She ate like a champ and was SUPER sweet when I picked her up again. She just sat there while I moved her all over the place to try to get a good look at her eyes. Neither one is fully eclipse. The one eye is about 80% black, and the other has a single gold fleck (cool!). The second picture is the eye with the fleck - the top two spots are from the lights, the third one near the bottom is the fleck. After getting some food in her belly, she was feeling a little better and lightened up half way LOL. SO, in the last shot her butt/tail looks to be as white as it gets, while her head is as dark as it gets. LOL I think she looks so funny and just GORGEOUS at the same time in that shot.
