What's the difference between a super snow eclipse and a normal super snow?

pics?

 

[ajveachster]

It's the eyes. I can't post any pics because I'm at work. They have an explaination here:

In a Super Snow is the eclipsed eye,
In the non albino version, the Mack Super Snows have two solid black eyes,
In the albino versions, the Mack Super Snow eyes tend to vary from red to a deep ruby red, right?

 

[steamball]

is the following one a normal SS?

 

[Lottiz]

I say it's the genes. A MSS eclipse will give MS eclipse if you breed it to another eclipse. Thats not possible with a normal MSS.

YES, Also I've noticed some tell tale signs for the eclipse and combo's (besides the eyes) is a white tipped nose, speckled tails, and white feet. Even in the Super Snow Eclipse, I know you can see pics of them here- http://leopardgecko.com/snows.html
They're awesome!

Jessica, that link has mack eclipses labeled as SS eclipses. I hate to say this publicly, but Ron is incorrect in his ID. We are all human and make mistakes at times and I am just keeping it real so to speak.

SS eclipses are void of color like a SS is and have the eclipse characteristics(usually a reduced SS pattern, white nose and legs/feet and a blue area between the eyes when young). Unless you breed two mack animals that are expressing the eclipse trait together, you can not 100% visually prove a SS to be expressing the eclipse gene due to het eclipse animals sometimes showing visual eclipse traits

A&M has the first proven TOTAL ECLIPSE(SS eclipse) so Matt says and they definately have them.

paulnj, then the above SS is eclipse or normal? thx!

 

[paulnj]

your animal is a SS , not a SS eclipse.

 

[steamball]

thx a lot, one more question, is the following combination possible?
super raptor = Super snow + RA
Diablo Blanco = Blizzard + RA

 

[Nigel4less]

thx a lot, one more question, is the following combination possible?
super raptor = Super snow + RA
Diablo Blanco = Blizzard + RA

I`m not sure what you mean? Diablo Blanco x Super RAPTOR is very possible and I`m very sure in the making.

 

[steamball]

I mean Blizzard x Raptor, will possible be Diablo Blanco or not

 

[paulnj]

Nigel, he's asking how to make a SS raptor and DB.

Steamball you would need 2 mack raptors or 2 mack eclipse het trempers(2 of each even) to make a definate SS raptor

the cross you suggest for DB would be first generation hets that are tremper het eclipse/ blizzard. Breed them together and have a chance at a DB.

 

[steamball]

ar, got it, thx a lot

 

[steamball]

pauljn, your icon is made by yourself? cuz a guy in chinese forum is the same......

 

[paulnj]

then let him hijack it... no big deal. Yes those are all my animals. Tell them to send all the money they make from it to the anti tuna fishing campaign:main_laugh:

 

[steamball]

haha, i also think so, cuz he deleted all word, but your icon really so attractive

 

[paulnj]

If it's the exact eyes and pattern. I am flattered, but it could just be the concept they copied. Mine was made by a friend who has the same concept too.

I've made picture signatures and had people *from the same forum* steal them. :laugh4:

 

[steamball]

Paul, same or not, you have a look by yourself, that's why i ask you
