Firefly het DG?

[mwolf]

Hey everyone, I hatched out a clutch from Pastel Desert Ghost x Fire about a month ago. Out of 5 eggs, 3 are definitely Pastel het DG, one was a smoking Firefly het DG (but badly kinked and passed away unfortunately), and then there is this one that I think may be a lower expression Firefly het DG.

Here are two pictures of the possible Firefly het DG next to one of the siblings that is definitely only Pastel het DG. The reason I'm not so sure whether Fire is present or not is due to the lack of much blushing and pretty busy pattern. That said, this snake is significantly brighter than the 3 Pastel siblings and has more head blushing.

What do you think?

Anyone? I'd like to get a second opinion before calling him a firefly.

Looking at how bright and clean the pattern is I'd say you have a firefly het DG and a pastel het dg.

I don't think you can guarantee the one as a firefly. I THINK thats what you have, but could just be a really clean pastel where the het is high expression and impacts the color.

Thanks for the input guys!

That's almost exactly what I was thinking...I'm pretty sure it's a firefly but definitely wouldn't feel comfortable guaranteeing it as such.

I'm also not too sure on how much het. DG influences colors, as it's my first season producing them. The other pastels all look identical to the one in the pictures.

Anyone else have any ideas?
