    When I click those links it doesn't go to pictures. Can you check your settings to see if maybe they are private or something and won't allow other people to view the links?

    Can you try now? I believe I set it to public.

    Looks like two of them are Lesser Pastel. The other looks like Enchi Lesser Pastel and either Specter or Yellow Belly. One of the Lesser Pastels might also be low expression Fire looking at the cleaned up side pattern and stronger flaming, but I'm not certain on that because the dorsal blushing isn't nearly as strong as you would expect.

    Re: Need help verifying morphs for hatchlings

    I’ve had a lot of people say they do not see any enchi or fire in any of them. I’m not good with identifying either one unless it’s a single gene.
    most are saying Lesser Pastels possible specter or yellowbelly for the other two. I’m not sure how to tell if they are specter or yellowbelly. I was reading a lot and looking at pictures of them both, and it’s just hard for me to tell.

    YB and Specter are impossible to tell apart. Recognizing them in combo with Lesser is tough, but you would be looking for heavy blushing and coloration differences, and the two that look the most similar don't have drastic enough blushing or the right color. Instead of having greyish dark spots around the dorsal, it's more a bronzy color. The different colored one matches the color it should have mostly, but Enchi is making it a little different than it would be otherwise.

    The easiest way to see Enchi in most combos is the eye striping. The part of the yellow stripe near the neck ends up often being especially thick and sometimes connecting more to other pattern than without.

    No Superstripe because that almost completely disintegrates the side pattern to where there is only speckling and faint outlines of smaller alien heads, and Lesser would only make it even fainter and smaller.

    Fire can be really tough in some combos, especially if it's a weaker version.

    So the thickened yellow eye stripe on the colorful one would indicate the Enchi right?
    would that also make her appear more orange in color; or would fire?

    Yes the colorful one has that thickened part and is picking up the more pink/peach-oranges from Enchi.

    Fire end up sometimes adding orangey-yellows to flame area, but tends to pull out any hints of brown/orange from the alien-heads. In the particular combo you have, if Fire was there, the grey in dorsal area should be greatly reduced as well, though if you have Fire it may be a weaker version that doesn't do that as much based on the other hatchling we are thinking is poss Fire.

    Do you want to post a pic of the Dam? Fire may be much easier to see in her, as it tends to be a morph that gets stronger with age rather than fading/dulling like Pastels can.
