    3 have shed so far.

    Looks like 1.1 Paint? YB Chocolate, and 0.1 Chocolate. No idea if the paint gene is present in the 0.1 chocolate. Any help on identifying the paint in there? BTW, I think a paint YB Chocolate would be a world's first. They're pretty cool looking.

    Here's the male Paint YB Chocolate:

    Babies are looking great. Hopefully someone can chime in and confirm whether they're paints...

    I myself am still learning about the Paint gene, but from what I know, side shots of the head and first quarter to third of the body are very helpful. I have been told that the Paint gene often displays itself by distorting the pattern on the side, especially as the pattern meets the belly. If Jon (coldbloodaddict), says they are Paints (page 1 of this thread), then I would believe him. Now if you want him to post how he knows they are Paints, that might be helpful in learning how to identify future Paints. But either way, I would trust Jon's experience.

    Do you think you would be willing to post pictures of the Yellowbelly Paint sire? Possibly showing his neck and side pattern meeting his belly along with similar shots of the hatchlings in question? I always find comparison shots to be helpful.
