Hi everyone! I would love some extra opinions on the morphs of my clutch. Sire, Juniper, is a lavender het hypo, diffused pied, stripe amel or ultra, anery pHet charcoal. Dam, Dragon, is a halo masque het lavender, amel, anery, hypo. These are the known genetics though there may be other hets I am missing. I can ID some of them fairly easily but will include those for ID confirmation/comparison of the siblings. Many are masque, which I know can have a hypo effects. Dragon laid a natural double clutch so there are quite a few photos, I will add some in the comments as well.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Pretty babies! I don’t know how useful I can be, as I don’t work with Ultra at all. I’ve been raising some Lavenders for a few years but this is the first season I’ve hatched any and mine are in different combos from these. How old are the babies in these pics? How many sheds have they had? Do you know genders?
Take these guesses with a grain of salt, but based on what I’ve seen in person/ purchased/produced, I would say at a glance that #12 and 6 look Hypo. #2-06 is classic. #2-03 looks Anery. #07 looks to be Moonstone, and I would think maybe #17 might be Hypo Moonstone. Debating a couple others.

Thank you! And I appreciate your input. These clutches have me completely stumped and no one seems to have answers. I can take more photos of any of them, if it would help.
First clutch started hatching July 23. Second clutch September 8th. I have not checked genders yet.
07 is what I had IDed as a moonstone as well. 2-03 has oddly light eyes for a standard anery which made me question that. 2-06 has a jet black base with orange-ish dorsal markings and a very dark belly. I figured this could be a normal, but it is significantly darker than any I’ve seen. I will try to find more photos of hypo moonstones. The ones I’ve seen have darker eyes. #17 has almost light blue.

I’ve got a Hypo Moonstone Stripe female. Her eyes are dark, more like usual Lavender morph eyes. She’s here, with sample pics that go back to when she was a baby.
My adult Moonstone male has also always had dark eyes.
My other Moonstones and Strawberry Moonstones have light eyes. Here’s are a couple of those.

Thanks! Those are gorgeous! One of mine looks similar to the strawberry moonstone and possibly another to the hypo moonstone. Only a few of mine have darker eyes. Most have shades of grey, blue and purple, which is why I was thinking there are visual ultras. Since this isn’t a gene I knowingly work with, I thought maybe that explained the confusing results. Charcoal as well. I actually didn’t remember Juniper was het for ultra/or/amel until I relooked at his het and pos hets.
He did sire a clutch with another female, testing for bloodred and stripe, which proved out, as well as ultra. Im not sure if their offspring would be more helpful for ID of this clutch beyond that.

Thanks, I’ve been really pleased with this season’s babies.
Obviously I don’t know about yours, but there’s no Ultra in mine, I’m sure. There wasn’t supposed to be, but I can be certain there’s not since the clutches included visual Amel morphs. Sorry I can’t help with any Ultra IDs.
