So what's a Snopal?

My glacier clutches have not hatched yet to compare it.
It could be a glacier with the anery masking the orange from the opal part, or it could be a snow het lav.
 
The most recent pics look like snows going into shed. How long ago did they hatch?

The first Lavender came from a snow grandparent, IIRC. I think it's a safer bet to view any lavenders as being possibly het or homo anery until they are test-crossed to prove them otherwise. :)

The same goes for charcoals, IMO. And one of the two original branches on the caramel tree came from caramel X snow, I think... anery is in almost every bloodline (and amel is in every bloodline, hehe) because back then every new thing was crossed to a snow.
 
The original Lavender (Mocha) was bred to a Snow corn because originally it was not known to be a new gene. I thought it was just an odd looking Anerythristic. Matter of fact, the original parents of the first Lavender corn were the results of breeding a wild caught normal corn to a Snow corn. So the possibility exists for ANY Lavender (or derivative) to have Anerythrism lurking in the gene pool.
 
Here are some pics of my 04 female I got from Rich. She was purchased as a snow het. lav, but as time has gone by her colors have been changing and becoming more vivid, rather than fading like you are describing. When the comments she started to get from friends became "Cool! an orange and purple snake!" I really started to wonder if she isn't actually homo lav, maybe even hypo? From the sounds of it though, a lot of snow lavs lose color as they age. Her first year she will be tested for hypo with a hypo bloodred (To make a ton-o-hets) and the year after that she will be put with a lav male (hope Murphy is on my side...)

I've been trying to learn how to use my photo-editing software. Is this close to the correct color Caroline?
