Those terms were originally used back in the day when it was believed that Hypo and Strawberry were in fact the cause of the additional pink however since then they've proven that the additional pink comes from a red enhancing mutation they dubbed as Redfactor.

So if the one snow that has the "stripe" is redfactor snow and not hypo, what are his peachy brown morph siblings? They can't be ghost then, correct? I mean they can be, but that would be a lot of compatible hets that the parents had.

Since you know amel is there because of the snows maybe you have ultra in the mix too. That would explain the pupil color being red/ruby.

I guess I have a bit more test breeding to do in the future! ��

I'm not saying hypo isn't in the mix. It still very well could be. From what I can see from the pics it appears you have some Anery Motley, some Ghost Motley, and some Snow Motley. Did you not get any Amel in the clutch at all?

They are all motley-stripe. And no amel. I'm pretty sure that would be impossible given the parents genetics since they are both anery type morphs. Im now questioning if they are anery a or b or a combo. The only reason I can suspect or conclude amel is even a genetic factor were the snow base morph hatchlings meanining both parents were also het for amel.

Yes, I agree. I didn't realize both parents were Anery. As for having a snow in the clutch both parents are definitely het for Amel in order to get the snow. Why are you questioning which Anery they are? Is there a specific reason or just curiosity? Can you post a good eye pic of both. I should be able to tell if it's one or the other based on the color of the iris. Now if they're both, that can be a bit more tricky but can still probably tell.

Know what genes they are expressing or carrying will help me ID the babies properly and plan any potential future pairings. I will get better eye pictures of the parents screen I'm home. I'm still waiting on my male to shed.

They are definitely not charcoals, which is anery b. Nor do they look like carbons. The parents are anery A.

Thanks Shiari. How can you tell the difference? I was always under the impression that the 2 adults were Anery (a), but if the hatchlings are a ghost morph like some are suggesting then the parents are het for anery b. If there is no charcoal gene, then what morph are the peach/tan babies?
