Very Nice Surprise

[PrototypeGeckos]

A few months back I got a Male Mack Snow which was originally purchased from the breeder as a regular CoDom (no hets). I wanted to start a Snow Bell project and breed him to a Bell Female to get some CoDom het Bells. I paired him with my Bell Hybino Female and she has since laid two cluches so far. The first clutch produced the Mack Snow het Bell I posted a pic of here http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=8615. The second egg needed some help so I got it started and out popped this!!

Turns out, the Mack snow I got was actually Het Bell already, that was a great surprise to find expected to at best see a Codom. Thanks for looking. :main_thumbsup:

OH, Ryan told me with my tremper/ mack trempers that the yellow in macks doesn't show until a few weeks after hatching.

I love my snowbell

Congratulations!!

But it's a Bell not a Snow Bell. If it were a Snow Bell those yellow bands would be white. Either way it could very well be a Mack Pastel Bell, and looks GREAT!!

The bands were solid white when it hatched, the yellow has since come in, so I am not sure as well, Bell or Mack Pastel Bell? Either way, its good with me, if is indeed Bell I am just happy I have the possibility to hatch a Snow Bell this year, when I got the male I didn't think it was possible.

How old is it in that pic?

 

[PrototypeGeckos]

I looked back at the picture I took when it hatched and there was a yellowish tint as well, not as obvious as now but it was there, this pictures was taken today, it is 5 days old.

Cool deal man, Surprises are great at hatch time!

Usually Macks don't turn yellow that fast. It could be that you helped it out of the egg, it may have been a little too early for it to come out, and had not shown all it's color yet.

However I'd be happy with that surprise too!!

Could be, good thought Felicia, I'm gonna let this one grow up anyway and see what happens, but hopefully soon either way I will get the Snow Bell.
