Mack Snow

In 2004, everyone thought that these were co-dominant (where off springs belonging to the first generation display a trait passed on by both or either parent), but over a period of time they have been re-classified as “incomplete dominant”. Mack snows carry only a single copy of the Snow gene and their white bands metamorphose into yellow color as they progress in age. Breeding 2 Mack Snows together will yield a Super Snow that comes to life in hues of silver or purple, and later on, turn white with black stripes and two steely black eyes.

Mack Snow – Tremper Albino

This morph is a mishmash of Tremper albino and Mack snow. There is very limited number of breeders who can produce this splendid morph.

Patternless Leopard Gecko Morphs

The breeders selectively breed the leopard gecko with special care to make sure that the offsprings develop a bright yellow color. You have several types here.

High Yellow Leopard Gecko Morphs

One of the first Leopard gecko morphs that were produced in captivity, these lovely lizards have a deep yellow body color with evenly distributed conspicuous black spots. Breeders of these leopard geckos are burning the midnight oil to produce a variant with deeper yellow color, but with the spots reduced  considerably.
