Need Help IDing babies

Awe! she showed alot of diffusion in the sides right away! It's amazing how much they look like normals at first!
 
Bloodred het anery ph stripe X lavender het bloodred =
50% bloodred/diffuse het lavender ph anery
50% normal het bloodred/diffuse lavender ph anery

Baby #2 is the questionable morph. All the others are normals and I see absolutely no indication of hypo being anywhere in the mix. The belly pattern on baby #2 does show some side belly checks, which to me says it is not homozygous bloodred/diffuse. I have had several of those hatch out in clutches and I personally always sell them as normals. Here is perfect example of one of those "babies": http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124508.
 
Hmmm....maybe I need to keep that one a bit longer to see what he does if he does diffuse or stays normal... ;) lol If he ends up looking anything like the one you sent a link too, he'll be a looker regardless what he's classed as tho :D
 
So....a few months later...and due to one odd circumstance after another preventing me from selling the babies and the last 2 months being tied up in hospitals with my daughter...I still have all the babies! Their odd colorings have bothered me this whole time...only 2 with the more proper belly checkers have started turning orange...the others have kept a greyer back ground, mask on the head and some reddish belly with weird barely there belly checkers or far separated ones....and ones head has taken on a pearly sheen after her shed tonight causing us to think shed retained at first. I came across something one day by chance someone asking about masques, I followed the thread and realized mine look at 6 months just like those! I researched a little and they tend to be male, and come from strong line bloodreds. My female is such from triple-r-corns. and my male is a lavender het bloodred from another breeder. Now I'm really confused though! I can't find much info about them, value of them or even adult pictures! Can anyone help me out with information about them, and maybe help me ID them properly? Some are still in blue currently, but I can take pics in the next few days to post! and their newborn pics are posted previously of course :) I'm really curious to know more about this as I was expecting from previous IDing here all normals that would be the lovely oranges and some with redder tones and possibly slight diffusions if influenced heavily....but that's not what I've gotten other then 2 turning orange that I knew without a doubt were the normals! lol Kinda makes all the weird delays that occurred and cost me so much more in keeping them and feeding them all worth this mystery! lol

1, 3 4 have a white mid belly stripe so they should be masque.
