What is a " Snow" Bengal?
There are 3 types of Snow Bengals:
Seal Lynx Point
The "blue-eyed" Bengal, the lynx
is born nearly pure white with markings darkening as the kitten gets older
due to the heat sensitivity of the "Siamese" version of the gene for
albinism.
The body color is a light-to-medium ivory. The markings are a seal brown
which can sometimes have a cooler, dark gray look. The eyes are pure blue, (reflecting
pinkish red when the light hits them), and should be richly colored.
A lynx
has inherited two copies of the "Siamese" version of the gene for albinism.

Seal Mink

The seal mink snow Bengal will have a medium-to-light cream colored body
color with seal brown markings.
The eyes will be aqua, or blue-green.
A seal mink Bengal has inherited one "Siamese", and one "Burmese" gene.

Seal Sepia
The darkest of
the snows, the sepia Bengal will have a medium-to-dark cream colored body
with dark-to-medium seal brown makings. The eyes will be a gold or green
color. It should be noted however, that since DNA Colorpoint
testing has become more widely used to determine exact color at the genetic
level, some snow Bengals once thought to be mink, have actually been found
to be sepia, and vice versa...
A sepia has inherited two copies of the
"Burmese" version of the gene for albinism.
