I want a super snow beacause I love the black/white; I just think it is so beautiful. I have an option of buying a young one, but I don't understand all the hets or whatever. I've tried to read up about it, but I'm just dumb. Will all the super snows be pure black and white or do the hets mean anything? I'll give examples....

Mack Snow, 66% het Blizzard & Tremper Albino

Mack Snow, 66% Patternless & Las Vegas Albino

Mack Super Snow, 66% het Las Vegas Albino & Patternless

And then one just says Mack Super Snow.

Can anyone help me? I just want to somewhat determine if they will be what I'm expecting them to be when they grow. Thank you! :)

They will all look like regular Super Snows. The het part of them is hidden because it doesn't have two copies of the genes. Of the 4 you put out there, they'd all look like a regular super snow.

Th "het" part, just means it is carrying those genes. Het Albino Sbows are for making Albino Snows, Het Blizzards are for making Blizzards, and so on. The appearance will be the same on all ofthe "hets" because they only carry those genes, they do not display them.

Actually of the four you selected only the last two are super snows. The first two are regular snows that are het two traits.

Good catch... I shouldn't just skim over the post :)

Another note.... they all only have a 66% chance of being het for those genes! That is what the number means, except for the last one that is not het or poss het for anything.
