Bubblegum & Neon Green Snows

I have a question I cannot figure out and would love some input. (I am not the sharpest knife in the draw) :(
I have had no luck figuring out the genetics behind both the bubblegum and "neon green" snows. I know there must be hypo in there somewhere, but hypo white is ummm .... white. :shrugs:
 
I'm quite sure the varieties of snow with a strong intensity of one colour or another are just line bred (or sometimes a bit of luck!) and if you have a snow that is homo for hypo it's called a coral snow adn has very beautiful pinks, oranges and ...funny enough 'coral' colours!

I have 2 snows that are sibblings but a year appart and they're quite different to each other. I'll try to put them together to take a photo but they're a boy and a girl so I'll have to be snappy about it!
 
One of my snows is now a 2yo and has some real peach background. I recently found out (through allot of phonecalls) that she was produced from a hypo stripe male and a zigzag snow female. I am not experienced enough yet to call her anything other than a snow yet, either way she is gorgeous IMO. She just gets brighter every shed.
 
(I forgot to add ....) I love the "neon green" snows and I am really curious as to how to produce them or if it is just "pot luck". I don't have the space to keep 10+ hatchlings for over a year to see if any turn green, but then again, I will if I have to. lol
 
Hmmm in person they're very different but the photo isn't showing off Elise's green borders at all. She has a lot more general colour on her. She has apricot, lilac, green and yellow, wheras her brother is more of a white backgrounded snake with pink saddles and a nice yellow throat.

The second I put them together, Myls made his intentions very clear!!! ---It's too soon for Elise though :)
First photo is 0.1 2004 and 2nd is the 2 of them. They're from the same breeder as I bought the male as a female and he turned out to be a male, so the breeder was good enough to give me a hatchling from the next year for pretty mich what a normal hatchling would cost...so I was pleased!

Good deal !
The male has very similar colours as my female. The green does show on the female and I totally understand how the camera does no justice to the true colour.
Nice snows, congrats and thanks for sharing.
 
Here's a little girl that came from breeding hypo motley het black, amel and striped to a female black, het hypo, amel, anery and striped.

I kept a male from the previous year, and he looks great!

Yours are still young aren't they? The babies are pretty similar looking, it's when they get to around 6 months and 6 or 7 sheds that they start to give you a good idea of their adult colours.
