now i'm inclined to think tremper as opposed to mack tremper but can someone clarify for me please, her yellow is very faint but its still there so IMO i thought that was enough to brand her just a tremper, but a very pretty one at that x
Iv not a clue but she's cute
Oh btw, last year one of my hatchlings managed to make a concrete-like paste on its feet by walking through its water bowl into its calcium. Just to warn you lol, I keep my two lids at opposite ends of the tank now, cos once that paste dried, boy was it impossible to get off! the baby actually lost a toe :/
Personally, I`d say she has every chance of being a Mack Tremper - with yellow and tang` being poly`genic, the strength of the parents colour (or even what colour they`re hiding in some cases) can influence a MS`s hatchling colour which would usually be a crisper white as you know.
In the majority if cases you`d expect all Snows to hatch out pure white and then start to colour as they shed (if they were going to); but it definitely happens that some hatch out slightly frosted with yellow - I had a Creamsicle and a Mack T_albino stripe that hatched out with distinct colouring, so I`d say yours is looking good.
Just wanted to post here and show just how much Lunar.....now called Mystic has changed, still more to do juding on how she is growing so much every day, plus she is the most calm and gentle natured hatchling ever, a real sweetie......
Yep she's doing sooo great, I'm really proud of her!
What do people think..... I am guessing she is in fact a Tremper (with a nice stripey pattern) as opposed to a Mack Tremper as we thought possibly at Hatching, since she has yellowed out sooooo much, I always think of Mack Trempers as being a lot paler, please set me right If I'm wrong here, thoughts guys????
I think the main way to tell is by proving her out all my mack trempers are darker as I incubate at lower temps but she has definitely yellowed more than the others xxx
Thanks Saz, I thought this too, just wondered what other peoples experiences were, will be a few years before I'm happy to breed her, so will be a while before I can confirm this either way hee!
Regardless she is gorgeous and I love her to pieces!:flrt:
Here's some more Photos of Lunar.....Now called Mystic, see what I mean she's changed again already hee! Her stripe now reaches from neck band to tail base and she has some wicked jungle head markings (looks like an arrow hee!)
She's a stunner, well pleased!:2thumb:
Thanks love, that she is, she's one of those lovely little Leo's who makes you feel really proud to own her, aside from the obvious beauty, she has one of the sweetest natures I've known in Leo's, especially in the girlies which seem to be a lot less trusting and more flighty in my experience so far ha! Usually it's the big chunky boys that really win me over.
