health of particular morphs

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to put this question, so here it goes.

Could anyone tell me if there is a difference in overall health between hatchlings of different morphs? I've heard some say, for instance, that they have more difficulties with blizzard and snow morphs starting to eat and basically failing to thrive for unexplainable reasons. Are some morphs more hardy than others?

Thanks.
 
The only two things that come to mind are that people seem to have more kinking in lavender hatchlings and the stargazing gene tends to pop up in the sunkissed lines.
 
I've heard Miamis like lizard scent and are harder to start on pinks- I don't find that to be true.
 
Snows and blizzards have never given me any more difficulty than normals, and I've hatched a few hundred over the years, I'd reckon. I have found lavender to be a problematic gene with lots of babies that fail to thrive, but I can't jump to any conclusions with such a very small sample size. I used to think the same about bloodred until I got new stock, so take that for what is it worth. Snakes with amel (some say especially blizzards) do seem to be prone to eye damage or cataracts from UVB exposure.
