Default Are these caramel???

Thinking these normals straight out of the egg are not looking very normal, and not very het sunkissed.... Mother was defo caramel stripe, if they are caramel the only possible father was an amber, but i don`t actually remember pairing her to him as such, and therefore rather confused ....?
I`m thinking caramel, what do you think?

Hmmm. Some of the photos seem to have slightly orange tinges in the spots on the neck; I'd assume those 'orangey' ones ARE normals. If the photos are not quite colour accurate and the spots on the neck are YELLOW with no hint of red... they might well be caramels. Caramels do tend to hatch out looking like Anerys if I remember the photos I've seen rightly; maybe Mum is not from an amazingly orange line of animals and therefore isn't passing a 'high orange' colouration to her kiddies?

I'd thought you'd already had one clutch of these guys hatch out already that are definitely het-sunkissed-looking... which would mean that mum (if she DID get put with the Amber) might still have SOME offspring who are het sunkissed if she's retained from the prior Sunkissed breeding.

Yes she supposedly double clutched to the sunkissed...the only thing i can think of is when the Amber boy went AWOL for about a week, at possibly around the right time.. and in comparison to the original het honeys the new ones are nowhere near as bright



The new babies are showing no red or orange, just a creamy yellow "sour milk" colour and brown. There are only 4 out of the egg so far and all are pretty pale. The first i passed as just a pale baby, but after 4 i`m starting to have my doubts...

I`m still wondering if its a good result or not....i needed more het honey stripes, but caramel het hypo stripe ain`t bad either

Hi,

I am quite interested in seeing some more pictures of the caramels, as my friend has just hatched off his first clutch, some do look pale.

Unfortunately he has a buyer already so anyone reading this that may want one will be out of luck. sorry.

Hope to see some pics.
