Does anyone see a subtle morph in this hatchling?

Hrm, you're right. That second photo (post shed) shows brightening of the dorsal patern, and subtle fading of the darks near the stomach and on the head. It is quite possible that it is a morph, and likely one of the ones I consider too close to fire for comfort. I'll get back later today, because there were some other lines in the Complex list that were too Fire-y for me to be comfortable getting (don't want to breed and muddle around with color swashes trying to identify which morph the baby is).

I'll check the morph list for Pastel Pied and see which other morphs may be at play with your one girl, as well as the complex list to see which other fire-y snakes there were and cross reference things. At the moment, though, I'm on a break from cleaning the house and need to get back to it soon

Here's a belly shot of the pastel

Maybe it's just my phone, but both of those snakes (at the moment) look to have more of a warm hue to their flames, and not just a fade to grey/white. Plus that dorsal coloration and headspot on the normal.

No, he went into a wholesaled group to become a pet store snake, so I'm sure I would never find him.
