    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well, 2 more of my Mack Snow eggs hatched, both were normals again :bawling:

So, Now I have hatched 6 eggs from my Male Mack Snow x Female SHTCT and only got 1 Mack so far. The 50% odds aren't working out too good for me. Anybody else experiencing this or am I the only one that is REALLY unlucky :ack2:
 
reptiles are different than mammals so idk how that works but ill try and rationalize it. If you have a black mouse and a white mouse and both traits are co-dom then all of their offspring will be grey. however if you breed 2 grey mice to each other the ratio will be 1:2:1 1-black 2-grey 1-white. Thats how the co doms work, odd i know. You can do it on a punnett square and it will show you the same thing. but i guess it doesnt explain the huge stroke of bad luck you seem to be having. it seems to be just that, bad luck.

I think the point of this post is to see if others where experienceing similar results from Mack snow breeding and not what the outcome should be.

Exactly, I know how the odds work, I don't like it though!...LOL
 
Hi Jeanne,
Last year I bred Mack Snow to Tremper Albino, twelve eggs – three Mack Snows. I bred Mack Snow to Las Vegas Albino, eight eggs – one Mack Snow. It is hard to hit the odds with these guys for some reason.

I hope you have better luck on the next clutch.

Thanks for that info Albey, it is reassuring
 
You could always hatch two snows on your next clutch and be ahead of the odds with 3/8. Positive thinking..... :)

Yeah, I was hoping that when I hatched out my last 2 normals, but it didn't work
 
Sorry to hear about that Jeanne. Mine went well, except for the temp sexing. :rolleyes: :ack2: :dgrin:

Most clutches were 1:1. There were a few that were 2 normals, but then we would get 2 snows on the next one or vice versa. it was pretty even when it came down to the end results.


So far this year Ive had (only a few so far) clutches of 2 snows, or 2 normals, and another clutch that was 1:1.

You may just get 3 Snows in a row now, to even things out. :)
 
I'm sorry your luck Jeanne isn't working to your advantage! I LOVE the super snows, and snows in general and have been itching to get into them lately.

So I have 0/0. BEAT THAT! :)
 
Jeanne, I guess all I can say is I'm sorry.

7 eggs = 6 Mack Snows. Maybe all the rest of mine will be norms but for now, I'm lovin my odds.

Way to go! It would be nice to see what Alex and Chris's odds where last year.

Well, you know what you have to do right????

You need to send me 2 Macks in exchange for 2 of my normals....... :scatter:

Congrats Jeremy! This is turning out to be a GREAT year for you!
