I generally find that by the 4th-6th feed and 4th slough onwards the colouring becomes much more defined, so hopefully by then it should become more obvious.
Though I'm inclined to say it looks more like a killer!

Keep us posted!

If it's a 4-parter will you be keeping or selling? What would your breeding plans be for this girl?

A nice assortment there! I wonder how hard it'd be to identify further combos down that line?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a super pastel cinnamon pin from my lemonblast x pewter clutch, but I'm not sure which direction I'd take that down.
At the moment I could add spider, enchi and spotnose to that, but trying to spot enchi in that combo would be difficult I'd imagine

It gets difficult lol! Was at mates tonight and has hatched a clutch from a vanilla fire pastel x bee..fun & games to identify
Nice combo, your right though, I think the enchi would be hard to identify..spot nose would be cool though

Hahaha, I imagine those are some generically pale and patternless snakes then?

I think it comes to a point where you have to strike a balance between strong dark patterns and colour cleaners. When you end up with a patternless yellow snake, how do you know what you've got?

Just dont add axanthic to that bee or you'll be stuffed! :-D
