How do you make a good one?
Hypos are so bright - surely that would make for a rubbish Mack Snow, or do you just have to hunt for a pale Hypo? I'm guessing pale hypos wouldn't be common, as it kind of goes against why people have hypos?
Ta!

As you said, not all hypos are bright (they would be hypo tangerines anyway) but most are. Generally a first generation hypo x Mack snow isn't particularly attractive looking, but with selective breeding you can produce very nice hypo or super hypo Macks, either going for very pale, white ones as would normally be preferable for Mack snows or brighter, more tangerine-influenced inidividuals, as in JMG's cremesicles. But just because a Mack snow isn't pale, doesn't mean it is "rubbish" - some people prefer the more colourful ones (cremesicles are very nice) and they are the same genetically as very white Macks in that they are just as good at producing super snows. It's just the ones that aren't particularly colourful OR particulary pale that I don't find that attractive, which unfortunately is often what you get in the first generation.

Thanks for that!
(sorry - didn't mean they were 'rubbish' as such - personal preference as you said!)
I'm off to have a look at these Cremsicles - not heard of that one before!
Do you breed Hypo Snows? I guess with my limited space, it will be better for me to buy rather than breed something that needs a few generations of selection!

First gen's are fairly dull but with breeding you can make them brighter by breeding the mack snow hypo to a SHTCT.Then breed the mack snow hypo offspring of the mack snow hypo X SHTCT once again to a nother SHTCT they will get brighter and brighter at each turn they are known at around this stage as cremesicle's.Personally i'd rather take avantage of the dullness and try to revert back to white as hypo's are more to do with spots than shade of color.imagion hypo's white with some spots.

This is a TUG hypo snow a line bred strain snow from (The Urban Gecko) in USA.Personally this is where i think we should be going with mack snow hypo's.Nothing say's snow more than white.

Now that's what I'm talking about - that's gorgeous!
Although those cremsicles are amazing too - looking through the JMG site was a BAD idea...

Yeah I do breed hypo snows but I am going more the cremesicle route than the pure white route. I do like both a lot, however.
