Why are people breeding Snows to be messy AF?

[jocosa]

 I've been wandering the AP, just to see what's there and so far every Snow I've picked up has been 12 gens or higher. It's last years release, I thought they'd be one of the few to have 2gs in the AP this year.  :/    Is this a thing, some messy massbreed event?

I mean look at this poor baby. 23rd generation egg.

Out of the 15 or so I've picked up so far, 14 have been like this. Super high, train wreck lineages.

I can breed my own, but always like to find the closer to hatching ones via the AP.

Yeah, I noticed a lot of messy Snows, too. For some reason I have now forgotten, my goal is to have at least 5 of each holiday dragon, so every year I try to pick up three 2nd gens of last year's dragon from the AP, and I had a really hard time finding three 2G Snows this year. I usually pick and choose pairings that look nice and try to find ones with named parents, but this year I had to settle for some unnamed parents. (I ended up with Snow x Tetra, Snow x Silver Lunar Herald, and Snow x Solstice.)

EDIT: Just picked up this one if you want it. Nice pairing, but I've got all I want.

I had some luck with finding 2nd gen Snows on the first day, but two of them were killed and the one survivor is reserved for a friend. I bred my own, but I actually want to continue those lineages, so I'm not going to freeze them.

Yesterday, I did another round of Snow hunting, and boy was that hard! If there even were Snows to find, they were either CBs, or really messy. After a few hours I got lucky and found some pretty 2nd gens, so don't give up, they're out there somewhere.
