There IS no difference in the way they look from a normal snow whatsoever. The only way you can "tell" it is a definite "pearl/opal" is by knowing what breeding combination produced the particular animal. And by the same token, you can also know if a suspected pearl is a true pearl by breeding it to a mate either carrying or visually expressing the hypo gene. Then if ANY hypos are produced, you then know your adult snow is in fact a definite triple homozygous PEARL!.



Rusty Green, and Don Shores have pics of triple homo pearls, but they simply look like any other snow..LOL!. It isn't about what they "look" like anyway, but is all about what can be produced with these.



Same thing goes for a hybino(amel x hypo). You cannot see any difference in them either, you simply have to know and prove them out genetically....period!
