Identifying Black Pastel in Banana

[ReptileRant]

I had these two babies hatch today ( pairing banana black pastel x albino). It seems obvious based on their differences that the baby on the right is banana black pastel and baby on the left is single gene banana. The problem is that the single gene still has extremely bight orange and purple. It looks just like the baby I hatched last year. I raised him up thinking he was black pastel, but now I’m worried he’s just banana.


Last years baby who I have raised and a picture of him as a hatchling:

Baby bananas usually have really bright oranges and purples, but if you look carefully, you will notice the one has far more yellow towards the dorsal than orange, and the other has fiery orange throughout. Also notice the more frequent flaming on the right one.

Yes, I see that. So what is your opinion on the older one? Just banana?
