Need help IDing first ever clutch!

Oh man has this been difficult! How do y’all even get them to stay still for pics? I took a lot of pictures the best I could and labeled each individual one. I couldn’t get them to stay in a ball though.

Spotnose Redstripe Yellowbelly het Ultramel x Cinnamon het Ultramel

We’re most baffled by #5 and the ultramels. #2 looks more significantly different than the other two ultramels, although all of their patterns differ from one another so we’re not quite sure. I don’t think any of these babies have redstripe.

Seriously? That’s a crazy clutch! All of them are superb but number one is my fave!:+1:

I don’t think the IDs on your parents are correct. The male doesn’t have cinnamon. Hopefully someone more familiar with spotnose and Red Stripe can add some input.

I think the female was the cinnamon. The male is supposed to be a spotnose red stripe yb

The male looks very normal to be a 4 gene animal…and the female is doesn’t look like a single gene cinny het ultramel. there’s something else going on there…

I do

To my eye you have

  1. Ultra (possible low-grade Cinny)
  2. Ultra YB
  3. Ultra
  4. Cinny
  5. Cinny RS Spot YB (this is a guess because it does NOT look like I would have thought the combo would)
  6. Cinny Spot YB

And, of course, 4, 5, and 6 are all 66% poss hets
