    Trying to figure out what I hatched.
    I out a clutch that was from a female Blonde Pastel that was paired up with cinnamon and fire. Below are the three types of animals we got. Top is a normal, on the left is a fire, and on the right we are thinking is a blonde pastel, but it is a more faded than any normal pastel we have ever hatched so we wonder if it could be a FireFly.

    It is smaller due to the fact that it is a twin. Here it is piping with its sibling.

    Anyone have an idea if these are Blonde Pastels or FireFlys?
    I'm pretty sure the Cinnamon didn't influence the clutch and Cinnamons and pewters are way different anyway.

    Thanks in advance!

    Is it possible it could be a Super Pastel? It looks like one a lot. Also I think you will be able to tell what it is better after its first shed.

    Consider the sires were a fire and a cinnamon, there is no way that could be a super pastel. I'm going to guess that it is a firefly :)

    Top: Normal
    Left: Pastel
    Right: Firefly

    That's just my opinion on the matter.

    Good luck and great clutch.. TWINS!:gj:

    I'm not very familiar with these morphs thats why I asked. :)

    My guess is that its a Firefly.

    Fireflies are absolutely jaw dropping. I don't think there is any way it's a firefly. I say pastel-a better quality one than the sib pastel.

    That's so awesome that you got twins!!!

    Same. It doesn't look super-fantastic like fireflies do, but it looks like a very nice pastel :D

    In order to get a a super pastel both parents would have to have a pastel gene. Since only the mom was a pastel it couldn't happen.

    Nice looking pastel though.

    Is the two on the bottom the twins? If so they probaly both are pastels! You will tell better after a shed but I believe you have two pastels! Great looking snakes though!

    The picture of the three that are out are just a sample of one of each of what hatched. Only one of the twins is in that picture. The actual clutch numbers looks to be 3 normals, 2 fires, and 3 of whatever the twins are out of 7 eggs.

    I spread one of the twins out and snapped a picture for just for my sanity check since people are asking.

    I posted a picture of mom at the bottom also as further sanity checks. I'm pretty sure they are just nice blonde pastels like their mother, but I have had people going back and forth on me. May have to check again after the first shed. Doesn't really matter since if the twins are both females or 1.1 they are already home regardless. :) Only way one will go is if they are both males.

    Big Gunns agrees. Your pic is lousy. Give us a better pic and the experts may be able to help you. The others will just guess.:D

    Are fireflies typically much lighter than the pastel in question? I only ask because this baby is labeled as a firefly:
