Snow To Super Snow appearance correlation?

[Alceste]

Hi I'm thinking about getting into breeding super snow animals and I am wondering if anyone has written anything about their experiences creating different looks in Super Snows. I have a few questions.

More specifically:

1. What (if any) observable characteristics (pattern etc) in Snow parents carry on into Super Snow offspring?

2.How reliably do patterns repeat in Super Snow pairs and with line breeding?

3. Is there a generally agreed upon standard for Super Snow quality? example: Striped animals or animals with light spotting are more desirable?

appreciate any response!
Thanks!

I haven't produced enough super snows from the same pairings to be able to say for sure anything about what traits are inherited. As far as the desired pattern goes, it seems to be up to individual preference.

My super snows from my bold stripes have an obvious stripe down their back and tail. I don't think there is any agreed upon standard for what makes a super snow worth more than another but I like to know parents since you can't tell what's underneath the black and white all the time (could be SHTCTB or could be normal!) and the bigger the spots the more I like them! That's just my preference though, others will like other things. Here are the two little ones I have growing up from the 2014 season

I like crazy looking supersnows, almost like cookies n cream. But usually that takes an additional trait (enigma in the example below), or some good invested time in line breeding, like many examples from Ramsey's Reptiles group of Super snows.

I prefer super snows that are high white, but really, it's just a preference. I know others who like them dark and spotty. I think with any morph, you can line breed to get a somewhat desired look. Obviously you can't change everything, but you can definitely breed for more white, more spots, etc.
