Opal hatchling photos?

cmscorns Jul 22, 2008 09:17 AM

I am looking for some opal hatchling photos to help with the identification of a newly hatched snake. I haven't seen too many pictures of this morph as a baby so I want to see a few more to help figure this one out. I can not tell if it is a real pink Amel or an opal.

Thanks

Here's a very representative hatchling opal, just after it's first shed....We hatched out about 30 of these this season....

Thanks,that is exactly what I had hatch. This is the third time I have bred the pair and up until now I have only had one opal from them. I typically get 3 or 4 lavs out of this pairing but did not get any so far.
