patternless snow vs blizzard

boacraft Sep 01, 2007 08:49 AM

I have been looking at pics of the patternless snow and the blizzard, but cannot seem to see the difference. Can someone explain it to me?

Patternless (doesn´t have a pattern: spots and stripes)
Snow (lacks yellow pigment: black and white leos)

Blizzards are true leucistics (they lack all pigment. They look pinkish when born)

Ok, but I have seen snows that have yellow. I have seen blizzards that have yellow. If snows are supposed to lack yellow, then why do people have yellow on their snows? If blizzards are supposed to lack all pigment, including yellow, why do I see blizzards with yellow?

Now I am even more confused.

sometimes hypo geckos are bred into those lines to create geckos (when older) that look snow and paternless but have no markings on their body. the ones you saw with yellow i am guessing are babies as they loose that yellow as they age. if they weren't than i don't think you were looking at snow or patternless.
