Possible Green-spotted Snow?

Nay-Sayer
when i first got my snow hatchling,who is now going on around a year old, i thought she was just a typical snow. a very nice looking one, but nothing more than a snow. nowdays she is becoming greener and greener tinted in her saddles, especially after each shed however, making me wonder, did i actually obtain a green-spotted snow? while i know she cant really be considered a green-spotted snow because they are selectively bred etc, im just wondering what you guys think about her coloring, and the possibility she actually may be a green-spotted snow. what do you guys think? and does anyone have pics of their green-spotted snow theyd want to share with me/us? id really appreciate it if someone does!

this is the best picture of her saddles coloring i have at the moment. hope it illustrates my thoughts well.

do green-spotted snows have belly checkers? and yes her checkers on her belly are greenish too =], even moreso than her saddles even, perhaps.
 
My snow has that alien look as well. His yellow turns to green about half way down his body and his pink body looks brighter with each shed. I wont call him a bubblegum, but he is the pinkest snow I've ever seen in person. We bought him when he was in blue so he was a big surprise when he showed his true colors.
 
Some of my green bordered or significantly greener snows have completely lost all of their green once they reached 3-4 years old. Others have waited until later in their age to develop green shades where there was none on them for the first year or so. One of my coral snow males (can't find a pic right now) kept a lot of green near his head and neck. the other one completely lost it all. I've tried remixing them a couple of times with rather hit or miss results. Some people I've taled with at trade shows have mentioned they've worked on trying to find a stable gene or gene combo which causes green to appear, but have been unsuccessful so far. Hopefully some day. someone will figure it out. They are wonderful to look at. Thanks for sharing.
