Pic Request, butter hatchlings...

[UKCryptid]

Hi everyone. A friend and I have put our various corns together to start breeding them again this year as we've both had quite a gap and from his female butter has come a quite 'orange' looking amel, the only ones we've ever bred before are snows, anerys, amels and 'normals' and he'd previously accidentally sold on some of his caramel hatchlings as normals not knowing what they were. So, before that happens again I was hoping to see peoples butter hatchlings? Normal patterns if possible, i don't know if it is a butter but we've been trying to work out our 'hets'.
Also, is there any way to defimately tell a snake is an 'amber' or a 'caramel'?
Thanks in advanced for your help and pictures :crazy02:

No butter pics I'm afraid, but I think that ambers tend to be more 'yellowey' all over than caramels. Caramels tend to have a greyish background; my caramel has a mostly grey background colour with the caramel saddles on top. Ambers I believe are more all-over ambercoloured Hope that helps.

Here's a picture just of one of the anery hatchlings, sorry for any spelling mistakes in any posts and tend to type faster than I really can :santa:

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah this female is a nice yellow all over her body, no grey to speak of. I have that ones brother, a nice snow so hopefully he's het for some nice things. He's breeding for the first time next year.

No problem! Sounds like it's probably a butter, but I can't say without pictures of course. Butters are beautiful little things, good luck with your breeding project

Also, caramel babies tend to develop the yellow as they get older. They start off browny/grey and get yellower as they mature. Connor gets a little more yellow with each shed. If your baby is a solid yellow sort of colour, I would rule out it being a caramel.

Hi. The one i was suspecting of being amber is just over a year old now and is a gorgeous colour. I'll grab a photo next time I visit him. It's a shame I can't just mate my snow (her brother) to her and see what happens but we won't do that, we're more inclined to consider breeding the snow back to his mother (Butter), it was an unknown father as she was sold gravid (we didn't know). I used to own an adult male caramel that unfortunately had an ailment when purchased and died a couple of months later so i'm on the look out for caramels and butters right now, so if this is a hatchling butter we'll know our miami male is het for it for next time. I'll get a photo of the hatchling asap.

Excellent, looks like we have ourselves a little butter. I'll get a pic posted still just so that you guys can confirm it for me. Are there any websites with pictures of hatchling morphs not just the adults as well? Cheers all.

These are pictures of when my butter was a hatchling.

For lots of hatchling pictures, I think searching on this forum would really work Further I know a site with lots of hatchlings but I do not want to cause people leaving this forum through a link. You can search for forum member Menhir with the search function though and click on his site in his signature. Go to gallery, click on the morphs you want to see on the right and enjoy! It has been my site for learning what different morphs looks like from egg to adult.

Forgot my pics... :bang:

I must say, she was a couple of months old when these were taken, not at hatchlign stage...

A pic of a clutch of butters and caramels that hatched for me earlier this year. The pic was taken before first shed so appear a bit lighter than after first shed.
