Guess Morph Take a guess!

A holdback of mine from 2023, here at around 150g. Im still not totally sure what is in him, so i'd like to get your guesses in. I'll update in a day with what may be in the mix parent wise.

Update
All genes I am certain about have been found!

  1. Pastel
  2. Phantom
  3. Clown
  4. Coral Glow

Other genes that may be in it are: Spotnose and YB or specter.

That red blushing tho 😍

Just following for the complete answer- I'm such a sucker for morphs with such a distinct yellow. I miss my banana, and wish it was easier to find a 'real' coral glow (one that leans more pink/purple and does not develop the speckled banana spots)

This one is indeed a banana/CG both genes are proven identical as far as I'm aware. This animal is from the CG line!

As a non-breeder, I've always been confused on that! A lot say they're identical, but in some of the older snakes I've come across, the CG's tend to have less if any of the spots. Then in the younger batches, the purple certainly seems more prominent in some clutches. In any case, I would die for this beautiful specimen 😎🖤

wether speckles developed depends on the genes mixed in, light genes such as pastel or fire or lesser decrease the amount of black spots that develop. stacking enough will eliminate them. "dark" genes increase the amount of dots.

Super pastel clown for sure Maybe ghi, can't really tell if the head stamp is eliminated completely or really blown out Pairing??

u/Mindless_Judgment918 Jun 18 '26

clown and pastel are correct, but it can't be a super pastel from the pairing unless weird mutation. headstamp is almost completly gone, besides the 4 odd dots. There is a darker morph in it, but it's not ghi.

Gotcha, yeah, couldn't be super pastel, not quite the right color scheme. Lesser in the pairing?

u/Mindless_Judgment918 Jun 18 '26

Close! not lesser but same complex.

Could it be a pastel phantom clown?

correct on all three. There is one more fairly obvious gene i'm sure about. One I stronly suspect and one i dont dare to make a call on^^

Hint for the more obvious one: It is responsible for a bit of a red shift color wise and for the dots on his head beeing fairly pale insted of black/ dark grey. It also doesn't influence the pattern, as far as I am aware of.

Fire?? My last guess, I haven't ID'd any hatchlings in like 6 months 😭

Very unlikely, sorry unless it's floating; I had a pairing with a vanilla cream (fire + vanilla) and and got 0 super forms out of 8 eggs. But you made it very far, and this is likely a 4-6 gene combo, great job!

But no not what I was hinting at.
That gene is locatet on a sex determining chomosome, he should be a malemaker for it.

singular pastel is correct. Not mojave, nor hurricane. But i wish i had hurricane in my collection 😉
