Another Morph Opinion Thread

[hypnoctopus]

Alright, so here's another one of my babies that I would like opinions on. I have taken pictures of three of the babies for comparison.

First baby, definitely a non-masque tessera. Very normal head pattern and plenty of belly checkers all over the place:

Second baby, a masque tessera. He has the skull head pattern and sparse, split belly checkers.

Third baby is the one I'm unsure of. He doesn't have a really obvious masque head pattern, but it isn't quite 'normal', either. It has the wide sections of grey, but not so wide that it turns into the skull pattern. He also has somewhat split belly checkers, much more so than a non-masque, but they aren't as sparse as masque usually has.

I'm thinking that the third baby is also masque, but I'll probably still price him as a non-masque, just in case.

Thanks for you input! I have one more baby that I'll be posting about soon that I'm totally unsure of, but I want him to have one more meal before I start bugging him with pictures.

He's a masque. There's definite variance in the level of expression of the gene.

You are so helpful.

Ugh, I'm now re-examining my other babies and noticing that several of them have the same thing going on. My non-tessera snow definitely has a masque head pattern and almost no belly checkers. I don't think there's enough diffusion on her head or sides to call her an avalanche, but she's probably a masque snow at least.

I agree, looks masque to me
