Too bright for a normal?

[Matt1851]

Hey guys, so i noticed one of my babies i hatched got a little brighter. its brown spots have gotten alot lighter. If you havent seen the post before the mother was a patternless and fater mac snow. Im excited to see what this little guy will look like in about 2 months!

heres what it looked like a week ago (on the right)

Looks like the mac snow genes kicked in on that one...

Im thinking they might be a really dark mac snow like the dad. or could it be possible the patternless is kicking in?

It's pretty cool looking right now, but I'm guessing that the Mack Snow genes are at work with this hatchling. There isn't a way for the patternless genes to be showing up in the phenotype, it is recessive and the gecko is het for it. Therefore, it is present in the genotype, but not the phenotype (outwards appearance opposed to genetic material).

ahhh ok. well im guessing it will look like the father then. He is a really dark yellow mac snow.

I dunno, unless it hatched out black and white, I don't think it's a mack snow.

Also, there are multiple reports on the forums here about het patternlesses having a more "speckled", "peppered", or "freckled" look to them. The thing is, it isn't a hard and fast rule, which is why it isn't a visual marker for the het patternless.

I don't think they are Macks, but hopefully they will keep some of that beautiful lavender coloration!
