It depends on how early they hatch and the morph. I have a lesser I hatched last year that started out looking like a mojave but over the course of a year it lightened up so much that it's yellows now are just insane. I'm not sure why that happened since lessers generally look better as babies. After the first shed, they all usually look a lot different than they do the moment they hatch.

If a clutch hatches a week early like this one did, they can be incredibly light. Especially while still in the egg. I was making judgment based on babies still in the egg and got fooled lol.
