Its very easy to tell gargoyles/onyx when they hatch out. They have a silver grey look to them that is a dead give away. They also should have busy, almost pixelated patterns on the higher quality ones.
Heres a clutch from last year. You can see how silver the gargoyle (far left) is compared to other hatchlings. You can also see how the het red gene affects the butter gene. The pastel butter het red and butter het reds in the center show partial blackbacks and have a slight silver wash out to them. They are easy to pic out next to the single gene butter on the far right.
