I would try Alex Hue, I think he has Mack snows. I bought my first 3 leos from him and they look wonderful. www.alexhuereptiles.com

I went to look at the http://www.alexhuereptiles.com/
I don't know but most of the "mack" geckos don't look like mack snow to me. Maybe I am wrong but please
check for yourself http://www.alexhuereptiles.com/Geckos/geckos/macks72906/msp310m.JPG

Does that one look like mack snow to you?

Okay, I don't know if a Mack snow is a separate type of snow, or if all snows are mack snows (could somebody clear this up?). BUT I think that The Urban Gecko has some absolutely gorgeous geckos that I admire online every few days. If I could afford one, that is probably where I would order.

I have to 2nd Alex Hue, he is known for his Mack Snows, two other top of the line breeders that have Mack Snows are Kelli Hammock at www.hisss.net and Albey at www.albeysreptiles.com. I believe Albey's site even explains the difference between Super Mack Snows, Mack Snows and Linebred Snows . . . Supers being the most expensive and linebred the least.

ALEX HUE REPTILES
He is my number one favorite breeder. So Ill "third" that motion

As for the snow confusion:
Mack snow is a codom gene which has a het form, called mack snow, and a homozygous form, called Mack super snow.

The Urban snows are a different kind of snow. They got them from an imported shipment that had some white geckos. Ive yet to see them offer any for sale though....................

Then there are the line bred snows, basically they are just like the opposites of high yellows. They are line bred not to have yellow.

I have bought geckos from them before and they are great. They advertise on kingsnake all the time, and I know they have snows. Also they have really good prices.

I didn't mean to offend anybody. And Ididn't say a thing against ALEX - I like his geckos! I am just curious about genetics, morphs...
It looks like there is a different understanding about this in Europe and US. Please read also my other input " Mack snows versus Normals" above.
Obviously I'm not a breeder and I don't understand this things but I'm curious.
Thanks.
