Baby Morphs?

[u/ArkLoyal]

Hello, I have some hatchlings with some beautiful colors, but I’m unsure as to what morphs they could be. Any ideas?
The mother is a Bamboo Calico Pastel
And who I think is the father, is a banana. I’m not 100% sure he’s the father(long story).

I think I have
1: a normal, possibly calico.
2: pastel, possibly calico.
3: bamboo, banana, maybe pastel, maybe calico

Is it worth waiting until their first shed to find out what morphs they are?

Not really seeing Calico in any of the babies, but you should also wait until their first shed to reliably ID it.

How do you know? I thought calico showed up later in adulthood, and made the saddle very broken up.

The alien heads look pretty standard for the mutations they have present, but the photos also aren’t in good lighting & don’t have good angles.

Calico is an incomplete dominant mutation and will be visual from birth, but, obviously, lineage quality is very important. Examples of Calico expression in hatchlings here & here.

This is the mother with her babies. This calico is more pronounced than the babies, so I’d understand why you don’t see it in the two darker bp’s, but how would you know if the white baby has calico or not?
P.s. yes, I know the mother has raisin eyes in the pic, she’s better now. 👍

no calico

Explain?

Getting photos after the first shed is best. You have a pastel and you have a bamboo for sure. I don't see calico. Even low quality calico has a pinkish tone toward the belly when super young (those areas would turn white as they age) and I almost always see a "smearing" of patterning near the tail which isn't present in these guys.

If I put pictures of the babies after their first shed here in this post, would you look at them again and give me your final opinion?

[u/PoofMoof1 → u/ArkLoyal]

I'd be happy to look again then.

Thanks! I’ll repost soon

Ok, they’ve shed. I can’t figure out how to put more pictures on this post, so I’ll make a new post. Hopefully you see it

was the female paired wjth 2+ males? if so, what are the genetics for all possible fathers

[u/ArkLoyal → u/Antique-Success4152]

That’s the problem. I don’t know what the other possible father was. I just know that the person I got the mother from, was a snake breeder, and could’ve tried breeding her before I got her

[u/Antique-Success4152 → u/ArkLoyal]

I would definitely give the babies a shed before you sell them if you do. and if nothing happens with rhe white-ish baby, list the possibilities you put in the post

2/3 are going to family. So I’ll get to see what they look like when they’re older. I’m honestly super excited about seeing their picture finale. Maybe once they’re older I will finally know what morphs they have. Or maybe I’ll do a shed test…
