    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....

I keep seeing 'Mack Siblings' for sale. Are these just Geckos where one in the clutch was a snow and one wasn't.

If this is so, then I fail to see the point of buying one of these. There must be more to it.
 
It's because of the Pastels and other things that have popped out of this line that there is a market for sibs. I was a strong believer in Mack Pastels, but I'm not so sure now. Alex Hue says 50-60% Pastels hatch from MP x MP breedings, but if it's dominant 100% should be Mack Pastels. Time will tell I suppose.
 
The Mack Pastels are a little hard to differentiate between the normals. I have 2 males for sale here like that. The thing is I dont want to guarantee the genetics on them as "Pastels" because more than likely Ill sell them a normal, or they will choose that one. LOL (would be just my luck one is normal)

I dont really know that much about them, maybe they are both Pastels it is really hard to tell. Im just not interested in a Pastel project myself, so I am just trying to move them out of here. Here they are. These two came from a BOLD Jungle/Stripe X Mack Snow breeding, they are very attractive. But noone has really showed a whole lot of interest. :shrug01:

I keep seeing these as well, would they bet mack hets? Or just normals or pastels? What would happen if you bred to a mack or to another mack sibling?

MP X MP should turn up all MPs...... But how do you figure an MP X WT cross should produce 100% mack pastels??? Wild types are dominant as well....
 
I figured since Super Snow x WT produces all Mack Snows then the Mack Pastel.... Ahhhhh! Duh my bad there's no co-dom form of Mack Pastel. Boy did I goof up... Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I feel pretty stupid now.
 
groovy geckos-have you hatched out any female mack siblings? I just checked alex hues page and they confirmed the pastels. So I guess that's another new morph to work with.
 
WOW-that is very interesting since i have arranged to take them off Dans hands
I have been looking for a light colored male to breed to Prima (my first hatchling) eventually and when i saw those 2 I knew that was what i had been looking for and i love the light colored Leos so i arranged to buy both of them
Whatever they turn out to be- i think that Prima paired with them will make some very pretty babies
Yeah-
I'm excited
Thanks so much Dan
:D
Sandy
Here's Prima

LOL- I meant Prima paired with one of them
I am not a morning person :(
I also have her mother and she has the same coloration as her daughter so that would be an option for the other male too
:D

Marlo, unfortunately the only females(if there were any) I sold while they were young. Then of course the only ones I had left turned out to be males even being temp-sexed. LOL I really wasnt that interested in working with them, I just like the Super Snows.

Sandy, Im glad, I think youll like them. Thanks!

Dan
