Cutting early / babies coloring up?

[zach_24_90]

Just wanting to know how much I should expect the babies to color up in the last week... I cut on day 52. All look nice and healthy and moving around.

Not a ton..I generally cut on day 55 and haven't experienced much change from then to when they exit the eggs

A pretty good bit.. babies get the majority of their lighter colors in the last 10-15 days of development..

Huh. Ok here is my Situation haha female has a VERY good chance being het desert ghost, I didn't have a male so she just got bred to my pastel butter. Well i cut the eggs, no pastels, no butters, but I get these snakes that are like almost greyish ghostlike in appearance no "normal brown" at all all the "background color on them is jet black and heads are SUPER blushed just like mommy... And there is a good chance the people i got her from had been breeding her with a desert ghost last summer.... Soo I'm just trying to see if they are going to turn brown or if I just hit 4 desert ghosts.

Oh yeah for sure haha im trying not to get my hopes up but just comparing pics of nerd's line of dg (what mommy is supposed to be) to what I can see of the hatchlings it's got a very good chance to be DGs

Desert ghosts don't hatch out that color they develop that as they age..

[zach_24_90]

No no I know I found some pics of some hatchlings
