Trouble ID'ing hatchling fires

[Domepiece]

Has anyone else had trouble identifying hatchling fires? Are some very subtle and darker? I just hatched out a clutch that was sired by my fire male, 2 are unmistakably fires but 3 look almost normal but have very light head stamps exactly like fires and are slightly lighter than the definate normals in the clutch. I know all different morphs vary as well as normals but how can I be completely confident that these are fires or normals? I dont want to get rid of them as normals if they are fires and I def dont want to get rid of them as fires if they normals. I'll post pics tomorrow. Thanks, Aaron

I don't think that I'll be much help IDing them but I am excited about the pictures none the less! Have they had their first shed yet? Maybe it will be easier to tell them apart at that point...

Let's see the pics and see if we can help.

Here they are. I hope you can see why I'm having trouble here. The one is a definate fire but the others are throwing me off with their lighter color, banding, and head stamps but look normal to me. I know that some low grade fires can be hard to ID, so here they are.



I took some pics with the flash and some without. Thanks

Looks like you got that 1 fire and the rest are normals .

That is also my consensus. The head stamps look exactly like a fire headstamp though especially the one at the top of the pic. I'll be getting rid of them as normals but in a way they look like really ugly fires sort of. IDK.

Top right in the first pic looks like a definite fire. The rest look normal TBH

Agreed with everyone else. I only saw 1 fire. Nice looking normals though.
