    Chocolate Clutch - Any guesses?

    I paired my Chocolate male with an odd looking female we picked up at the local feedstore. Mom kinda looks Chocolate too, but we only got 3 eggs so I guess we still don't know. She's in shed, so as soon as these pipped she hightailed it to her water dish to soak. I figured it couldn't hurt to cut some windows since they already pipped, and put them in the incubator. I bought my Chocolate male as an adult, so I have no experience w/hatchlings of this morph. I know it's hard to say since they are still in the eggs, but any guesses if any of these are Chocolates? I guess 2 Chocolates and 1 normal.

    Here they are together:


    Candidate #1 (I think Chocolate?):


    Candidate #2 (also Chocolate?):


    Candidate #3 (normal?):

    x2 but I also have no experience with the chocolates. I am agreeing based on the noticeable difference in the first 2 compared to the last one...

    The first one is out, and she doesn't look like a normal, so she must be a chocolate, right? Here she is:


    She weighs 87g...I seem to be getting a lot of 80-90g babies this year...

    That is without a doubt a Chocolate. Very nice one too. Any pics of the mother?

    Lovely chocolate baby!

    I've really come to like the chocolates (after first thinking it was one of those "too normal-looking to be bothered with" morphs ... ) IMO my chocolate female has gotten better with age and size.

    Ok, all the babies are out, and I actually took pics of both parents Let me know what you all think. Here are a few of all 3 together.






    Top left is the Chocolate female that was out first, top right is the Normal? (it has really nice flames), and the other Chocolate is in front. He's much darker than his siblings...maybe mom isn't a Chocolate and this dark guy is Chocolate plus mom's gene. Or is he just a really dark Chocolate? Here he is by himself:



    Here's the normal:





    Here's mom:


    And dad:
