Tremper Albino vs Mack Snow Tremper Albino

[dominifly]

Hey guys, I was just wandering if there are any noticeable characteristics between a Tremper Albino and a Mack Snow Tremper Albino (or Tremper Snow). Can somebody post pictures of both and point out the differences.

The first picture is Millie, a 2013 Mack snow tremper eclipse and the second is Benny, a 2012 regular tremper. I think you can see the color difference caused by the snow gene

So, a Snow Tremper looks just like a Normal Tremper, just lighter in color?

In my experience yes. Millie will probably yellow up as she gets older though

It's frequently difficult to impossible to tell with adults. The only reliable ways to tell are:
--know what it looked like as a hatchling. Regular Tremper hatchlings are beige and yellow, snow tremper hatchlings are beige and white
--breed it to a non snow and see if you get snows

i have a snow raptor which was orange when it hatched and now he's light yellow and keeps getting lighter. (it proved snow when i bred him)

It would be interesting if you could say a little more about this. Is there any possibility that the offspring he produced were snow because of the female?
I had some interesting snow/non-snow outcomes this season:
1. I bred my hypo Mack snow male to a female tremper het eclipse to prove out the eclipse gene. I was really surprised to get 4 super snows out of this pairing (including one confirmed total eclipse) since there was no indication to my knowledge that the female was also a snow

2. I bred a gecko sold to me as a Mack snow blizzard for several seasons. It was very hard to tell which of her offspring were snow because they were extremely light yellow. I held back one female that I suspected was a Mack Snow and produced several geckos from her and my Tremper albino that were clearly albino snows. This year I bred her to my Mack snow male, and out of 21 hatchlings I got zero super snows. So, is she not a snow (and I was wrong about the previous season's snow tremper babies) or is she not a Mack snow? I'll never know, I guess.
