Derek brings up a very interesting point. I would definitely say that that is a Hypo from the picture, but remeber that Hypos do shed clear (meaning that there is no pattern on the shed), so it will be easy to identify those as Hypos after their first shed.

Re: First hatchling ever! :D

Re: First hatchling ever! :D
We hear, all the time, new people asking, "I just got my new bp at Wal-Pets-Mart-Co, how do I know what its het for?" And the standard reply is "If you got it at Wal-Pets-Mart-Co, its not a het, its a normal. Sellers know its a het, and price it accordingly." You, my friend, seem to be proving what we should all know deep inside. The morphs we have are wild occuring. Its not that our wc/ch snakes aren't het, its that IF they are, proving it would be horribly difficult, because we don't know what genes to put with it, if any!
Just speculating here, but my guess is that your male is CB. I've heard more than one breeder state that he dumps his male hets on the wholesale market to pet stores to be sold as normals. You really lucked out getting a male het that "matches up" to your possible CH/WC female! All this assuming that your babies are truly Hypos, which they sure appear to be. You might want to ask the store where you bought your male where they buy their snakes. If they can give you a breeder's name, contact the breeder and ask him about het hypo males.
How many eggs total? So far, 2 normals and 3 possible hypos? Fantastic odds for het to het breeding! Should be 25% normal, 25% hypo, 50% het. Even a homo to het should give you 50% hypo and 50% het. Somebody is smiling on you!!!!!!
I'm stoked for you!!! That's the kind of luck I'd like to have!
