I'm in the process of getting a lil Bengal snow...

He'ss be TICA reg'd, but no idea what colour variation he should be? I've attached a photo.

He's Blue eye'd BTW. I think he may be Seal Mink Spotted Tabby?

Thanks!!

Wow those are gorgeous kitties!

I thought snow bengals and seal mink bengals are the same.

From a website:

The so-called "snow" bengals come in actually 3 slightly genetically different colors: Seal lynx point, seal mink and seal sepia. It is often hard to tell the difference between the seal minks and the seal sepias in person or in photos. There are now genetic tests that can be done to help breeders define which color they have. The easiest to tell is the seal lynx point because they must have blue eyes.

Seal Lynx Point -- which have a very light cream ground color, dark chocolate markings and, usually, slightly darker legs, tails and ears. These cats MUST have blue eyes.

Seal Sepia -- which have a cream/tan background and very dark bitter chocolate markings. These cats have green eyes.

Seal Mink -- which are actually a genetic blend of the above two colors--a cream background with slightly warmer brown markings and, often, blue-green or aqua eyes.

All three "Snow" colors can be shown in TICA and several other associations.

Doesn't matter what they're called - beautiful!

Looks like a Mink to me. Take a picture with flash and see what color the eyes reflect back. If they reflect red it's a SLP if not you will have a snow mink spotted tabby. Congrats they are gorgeous kitties.
