Two hatchlings that need a morph ID

A guy is selling these and doesn't know what morph they are, any idea?

I know these pictures aren't great, they were the best pics I could get with my cellphone and didn't have my camera with me.

The female:

The male:

Any idea what they are?
The eyes look like an olive-brown color to me.
 
Also, in case you can't tell from the ventral shots, they have thin checkers down the edges of their bellies but no markings down the middle.
 
I honestly can't give anything beyond a group of potential guesses from those photos...ghost, lavender, hypo lavender, phantom, ???
 
From those pics I'd say both are ghosts, they look like my ghost did when I first got him (first 3 pics) the last pic is what he looks like now days

I agree with Susan, it is not an easy call from those photos. Lavender? Ghost?
Although, with "olive-brown" eyes, I would lean more toward Ghost.
Also, with the split belly checkers, they could, ~possibly~, be het Blood/Diffused.
 
I bought both of them, I will get better pictures of them with a real camera and post them up. They don't look exactly like the pictures you posted K. Rene, but they are pretty close. They don't have the yellow color on the sides of their necks, and the colored spots that extend back from the eye are really pink on them, it looks like they are wearing blush.
 
At first I thought they were caramel, but now I'd have to say ghost.
 
They look like ghosts. But it's hard to tell. Oh and just because her snake has yellow and yours don't, doesn't mean they are different morphs or that yours won't get some yellow as they age. You would be surprised at how different a corn snake can look within only a year!
 
I would say ghost too, but to be sure I think all the snakes pictured in this thread need to be sent to me for comparison :dgrin:
 
I am going to take very good pics later this afternoon, I'm borrowing a good camera. In the meantime, I'll give a little more info. The genetics of the parents are not entirely known, but they are both lavenders and their clutchmates were snows, and hypos. So both parents are het for amel, anery, hypo and obviously homo for lavender. They also had stripe/motley clutchmates, but the seller didn't mention anything about diffused.

@ Dorgrim -- I think I'll keep them here, thanks for the offer though :D
 
According to my research, based on the KNOWN genetics (if the guy was telling me the truth) they could be:

-Lavenders
-Ghosts
-Anery Lavenders
-Hypo Lavenders
-Lavender Ghosts

Cornsnake calculator says they could not have had a plain hypo clutchmate, so maybe the guy thought some lavender hatchlings were hypos? I did see one labeled hypo and it looked more like a lav than a hypo now that I think about it. He was mostly selling okeetees so I don't think he was very experienced with IDing morphs.
 
In the new photos, they look more like Lavenders. However, there seems to be something just a wee bit "different", to them, and the female's eye color is ??? for a Lavender.
Not sure but it could be that they are Anery/Ghost Lavenders.
