Not the first ever (I know of 2 other breeders who have produced them), but the first in the UK as far as I am aware. Unfortunately she has a kinked tail but hopefully with outbreeding it shouldn't pass on to future generations. Sorry about the rubbish photos

Yeah, Mack (het Tremper) make, enigma female.
She was incubated for female. |

I will be interested to see if it actually is a female, I have recently been in touch with Albey Scholl of Albey's "Too Cool" Reptiles (http://www.albeysreptiles.com ) about mack snows and this is one of his replies ......

It doesn’t work so much the opposite way if you incubate at 88 – 90 degrees Fahrenheit to produce Males but at least some hatch out as Females. It has do be something with the Mack’s that cause this but no one knows what. It hasn’t happened to me this year as much as it did last year but it is still happening. It happens even if you are doing combo morphs. I hatched out two Tremper Albino Super Snow’s this year that were incubated to be Female and they hatched out Male. I am sorry I can’t give you a more scientific answer but I really don’t have one |

I agree. There was another discussion on temperature dependent sex determination on Macks in this forum (I think), and on Gecko Forums. Of course, TDSD isn't 100% accurate anyway and I don't really mind whether I get a male or female. In fact, I'd probably prefer a male  |
