Hatchling help!

[Meredithm115]

You guys have been so helpful to me in all my other questions, hoping someone can help out with this! I just recently had my first clutch hatch and I think i know what genes are in them but just wondering if any one sees anything in them or their parents that I don't? I know there is variation in morphs but these babies have some funky patterning that could indicate het genes, maybe?
Mom: just a normal???


Dad: Banana mojave hypo?

I suspect yellow belly in mom and some hatchlings. Belly pics may help but it's a really tough call to make in bananas through pics. 2, 3, 4 maybe?

There also appears to be something in mom and some of the hatchlings messing with their alien head's eyes but I'm not sure what. Based off 2 alone it looks like granite, but it doesn't look like that in mom or the others. It's definitely not coming from dad. 3 has especially "blocky" eyes for a mojave.

As far as het hypo markers, I'm not familiar enough with hypo to be of much help if there is such a thing.

Other than that fully agree with jmcrook.

Are these the whole clutch or was there some non-bananas too? Dad may be super banana if you got all bananas and they aren't all the same sex.

Thanks for the input! I agree, I know a lot of people suspect their 'normal' isn't a normal, but I really have always thought mom was a little odd. Of course, there is extreme variation in normals and maybe the funky patterns are from dad after all? I'll find some belly pics of mom.
One baby that I thought was just a banana has developed intense flaming all over his body, I'll post pics of that. One has eaten so far f/t and I'm going to try to feed f/t again, tonight. If that doesn't fly, I will be switching to live pinkie mouse in a deli cup. Any tips of getting hatchlings to feed are appreciated. They are in solo containers, humidity and temp are correct, each have a hide, as well.

I sure hope they don't escape on you. I've never tried keeping snakes in those besides during shipping with the lids thoroughly taped closed. Assuming they are clear? Making them dark somehow might help them feel more secure to eat.

Hello! Sorry, busy month, now each baby is eating a live weaned mouse every week and have had 2 sheds. I think I'll up their feed rate soon to every 5 days.
Here are updated pics of some of the babies.

Baby #5 (Zuko): the camera does not do this guy justice, he is the brightest banana I've ever seen

Looking gorgeous! Glad they are all eating for you.
