Odd looking Total Eclipse?

[suburbangeckos]

Hey all,

Wanted to run this by everyone and see what the consensus is. This particular female came from crossing one of our male Mack Eclipses with a female Dreamsicle. Going by what the outcomes should be, this should be a Total Eclipse, however all other Total Eclipses we have ever produced have much smaller spotting and are not nearly as dark. This gecko visually to me, looks much more like a Super Snow, yet it does have the Eclipse traits as well. The 3 pictures attached are what it looked like when it hatched out, what it looks like now and how it compares to another Total Eclipse (in the group shot they are right next to each other in the middle) that was created by a Total Eclipse x Mack Eclipse cross. All other Total Eclipses we've created look like the one on the left, rather than the darker one. Anyone seen this before?

Thanks!

Chris

I like the bolder looking total eclipses. I have seen a few but I think that "pattern" is pretty rare with them. It looks great!

Thanks Morgan!

If your nose, hand's and leg's are white characteristics of Eclipses, but has different pattern to other Total Eclipse. If I'm right in that crossing can't get a Super Snow only.
I'm interesting on this topic!

Yep...we were thinking the same thing. To me personally, it has more patterning of a regular SS but there's no doubt the Eclipse gene is in there with the white nose and feet. And you're right...technically speaking, that cross should not produce regular Super Snows. Definitely holding her back for next season to do some proving.
