    Firefly X Calico Clutch Hatching... help ID

    Four egg clutch from Firefly X Calico. First hatchling is out. I believe it is a Fire Calico, but wanted some more opinions. Fire or Fire Calico?

    The next two hatchlings are still in the egg and I can't make my mind up about... I know they are still in the egg and I will know much more after they hatch and shed, just wanted to see if anyone has an idea of what these guys are from pictures still in the egg. Did I hit the Firefly Calico?

    The fourth I didn't post a picture of, but looks identical to the first one that is out of the egg.

    This is my first time hatching Calico anything, any opinions?

    First one definitely looks like a fire calico. I don't think the other 2 are calico fireflys. Keep us posted as they come out. Will be easier to tell what they are. The fire calico looks right nice!

    first egg looks like a pastel, second egg is firely-ish. the one out of the egg could be a fire... i do not know how to id calico on balls this young...i could be seeing some "white" on all of them, or i could be wrong.

    I agree that the one in the first picture looks like a fire calico. I think it will be easier to tell with the others once they're out.

    Congrats on the clutch!

    All out

    OK They were all out this morning. Here are a few quick pictures of the last three that came out...

    Again, pairing was Firefly X Calico. What do you all think these are?

    First of all, let me say I am not familiar enough with these combos to really know. Mostly just guessing (but it's such a fun game...)

    I am inclined to think you didn't hit the triple. Most of the pics of the triple on WOBP are pretty noticably different than any of the 2-gene combos possible here, and none of these babies have that look.

    After that, I'm less sure.

    I think I agree the baby in the first post is fire calico. I also think baby #3 is fire calico.

    Pretty sure baby #1 & #2 have pastel... and aren't just pastel. I can see what I think are white calico markings on #2, so I'll call that one pastel calico. #1 I'm not sure sure. Wish I could find more pre-shed pics. I suspect it'll become much more clear once they've shed.

    Now someone who really knows what they are talking about will come along and give you real answers.

    Let them shed a couple of times and post up pics. It will be much easier to tell. Beautiful clutch!

    I dont know if you're eventually trying to hit the super pastel firefly calico but that morph IMO is the most beautiful one. Nice snakes
