    Need help verify Morph

    Hello everyone! I recently had a clutch shed and as the babies were in the egg one of them looked odd. Now that it has shed I am a bit confused by its appearance and don't know exactly what it is. The pairing was Enchi Fire x Mojave Pastel. I will post some pictures of him with his clutch mates, solo and a comparison with a Normal. Hopefully one of you see something I don't.

    The one in front is the one in question.


    Solo picture... Look at how dark the black is


    Comparison with a Enchi clutchmate


    Comparison picture with a Normal from another clutch


    As you can see he is definitely different. I know he isn't a single gene Pastel, Mojave, Fire or Enchi. His black on his dorsal is jet black and side pattern looks dirty. Not the best lighting. But hopefully one of you with more experience can help me out

    So the dark black dorsal is common in the Fire gene? I always thought the Fire gene was lighter in a sense. Thank you for your input!

    Can you post pics of parents? Looks like a Trick.

    Edit: So does the left one in top pic too.

    My guess is the hatchling in question is also het for TSK Axanthic and you are seeing the influence of the gene.

    Neither parent looks like a Trick, though dad does have some pretty pixelated pattern where enchi didn't wipe it out, so I think rlditmars might be right.
