    Coral Glow ID help~ crystal ball isn't clear
    Alright! I got my babies all shed out. My 2nd BP clutch ever~

    I know that I have 2 coral glow super mojaves, a super Mojave and an orange ghost Mojave. What has me second guessing are my little coral glows.

    Pairing is:
    Pastel Enchi special Mojave het orange ghost
    Mojave Fire Coral Glow het orange ghost

    When they were in the egg, I had thought maybe they were special fire. Now that they're hatched I'm not so sure? So I had updated my guess to enchi pastel special because of the melty pattern and the number of keyholes/alien heads. Dropping fire because the pattern doesn't seem as pixelated towards the middle of the alien heads as I've seen on other special fires.
    A breeder that works with hypos told me they definitely have Orange ghost... So is it maybe just special orange ghost? They two are almost identical, but I only included the photo of my potential holdback... And in the white light photo hypo definitely looks like a possibility but the other yellow light photos have me head scratching all over again. Added the pre-shed clutch group photo as well.

    Also! Anyone have a trick to ID hypo/O.G. in super Mojave?

    Thank you! I did a lot of looking into what genes I wanted to work with. And I used to breed leopard gecko's for a while so BPs were the next step.

    The downside is just how variable things are. Especially if you pick up some crazy pairings to start off with. Lol

    Next year I have a little pied group that should be ready to go along with my BEL group so it should be pretty wild
    @_@

    I'm just hoping to get better at IDing this pairing tho. Powerhouse daddy has been great so far

    I have very little experience with OG so I'm not going to be much help with that part. 3/6 OG in a het x het pairing seems highly unlikely though. They don't have a strong indicator of Enchi in the pattern, but color wise I could see it. I could see them being Mojave with the amount of keyholes and high odds in the pairing, but I doubt that with as golden as the yellows are instead of pale yellow, even with Enchi possibly helping. Doubting the Pastel because the color is so vivid, there isn't strong blushing, and there isn't really strong squaring and horizontal squishing of the pattern.

    My best guess for those two would be CG Enchi that have A+++ CG and Enchi with really weak pattern control.

    Is the color really superior on your Mojave Fire Coral Glow het OG? Maybe pic of that parent or both parents would assist.

    Thanks so much for the insight to far Nikkubus!
    I've had weird odds before! Last year I got the 3.0 pastel lesser mojaves and 1.0 super pastel special lesser from this father and a killer queenbee female.

    Mom was absolutely stunning as a baby. She just glowed...
    These are just what I have available on my phone at the moment. But mom and dad~

    I'll let the people with the OG experience determine if that's in there then, but I think the rest is right then maybe! Those two are very stunning even as adults.

    Nikkubus: Thank you! I was really happy landing this pair. I couldn't say no to the colors on the mom....plus a female coral glow was hard to find 2 years ago. And the dad is just a nice little package that never throws a normal. And still so bright!

    And Bogertophis thank you! I do worry a little about the Mojave OG because they're tiny (26g). They had a gross fleshmass attached to the yolk so I think it was a failed twin... but I got them to take a mouse pinky so fingers crossed!

    Oh goodness that's tiny. I've had so-so success with runts, sometimes they gooble up (smaller) food no problem and catch right up. Hopefully that's what yours does!

    Wow! Congrats on amazing results in the clutch. It appears to me that they are resembling pastave orange ghost. The patterning and shape of the alien heads make me think that the pastel may be disrupting their shape. OG Coloration and is throwing off and reducing the melanistic presentation. What strikes me also is the flaming going on the laterals which can be seen in the special influence.

    Thank you Albert!

    Yeah it's a bit tricky...
    Mojave and special are fine on their own.... But toss pastel or enchi in there and they can start looking really similar.
