SnowMunch2 is the second offspring of Snowball and Munchie. A male Lilly White, he is the closest to our goal of producing a large pure white Lilly.

“Hello~” He has changed a lot since birth. Newly hatched Lillys often look quite similar. In terms of quality, you can usually observe differences in dorsal solid coverage, but SnowMunch2 has a very normal-looking Lilly White appearance.

His pinstripe is well-formed and thick, but his dorsal is not completely solid. Personally, what I’m most curious about is whether he will develop the pure white coloration of his father, Snowball. Right now, the pinstripe area still has a noticeable yellow hue compared to the surrounding white. While he hasn’t quite reached his father’s level yet, it will be interesting to see if he turns pure white upon reaching adulthood or if his color changes like a typical adult.

His coverage extends up to the neck, and the drippy pattern has developed significantly, though still not as much as his father’s. While not quite on the same level as SnowMunch1, SnowMunch2 has an incredible appetite, so I’m excited to see how big he will grow and how he will develop. I’ll be sure to post an update on his progress at the right time.
