Hi! I recently had a clutch hatch, the pairing was: lesser vanilla pastel x banana pastel. The babies look great and some genetics are pretty obvious but I’d still appreciate a second opinion on the morphs. What do you think?

Is this image before their first shed? If so, wait until after their first shed to post updated individual pics. Embed a number, 1-5, in the pictures to uniquely identify each baby.

I agree with @halfmoonlakeherps but I can take a gander…
Very top- Vanilla Lesser Pastel
Middle left- Pastel
Middle right- Pastel
Bottom left- Lesser Vanilla?
Bottom right- Super Pastel
Still getting the hang of genetics so there might be things I’m missing… thats just what I’m recognizing with this clutch.
(Edit) It may also be useful to provide pics of the parents!
(Edit2) Actually something doesn’t sit right with my guesses for the top hatchling and bottom left hatchling… Lesser Vanilla doesn’t really match them… they look more like Cinnamon lessers

I’m absolutely waiting until they shed to be sure, but bottom left and mid left are the ones I’m really not sure about. Middle left is much lighter than any other single gene pastel I’ve seen and the bottom left is just weird, it probably includes lesser though…
Top right looks a bit like mom so it’s possibly a vanilla pastel lesser.

It’ll definitely change once they do their first shed. I’m honestly surprised you didn’t hit any bananas tbh. That’s a wild luck of odds right there.

Yup, it’s unfortunate, was hoping for some funky banana combos, all of the babies are also 100% het pied and 50% het clown, so they have some great genetics, but it would have been nice to get some lesser or vanilla bananas.

So, since some of the babies didn’t look right according to the genetics, which should be there. I decided to dig around the genetics of the parents, I found out that the female’s parents had yellowbelly, even though she wasn’t sold as a YB, it would pretty much explain why bottom left and mid left look weird. Mid left would be YB pastel and bottom left lesser YB. What do you guys think?
