If you could give us some less blurry pics of the parents and the baby you might get some better opinions. What do you think it is?

Baby...first pic just cute father son at 24hrs old

i have parents in possession they are two of my favs so any pics needed highly obtainable

thanks fer lookin

Mom is very interesting (uh oh, can't remember now if it was the mom or the dad in your photos that had the mostly clean back with little pattern).

Is the hatchling male or female? The best way to find out if you've got something is to breed the offspring back to the parents and bring out any genes hiding in there.

I like how the alien eyes are connected together near the neck on the hatchling.Clear belly too...I'd try to prove it out as a dinker project. Was that the only hatchling? If there were more in the clutch I'd love to see them.

Congrats.

LEARNING PREVENTS IGNORANCE OF THAT WHICH SURROUNDS YOU...AS LONG AS THE SOURCE FROM WHICH YOU LEARN IS A VALID ONE.

dad has the mostly clear back with green eyes he's super sweet mom is the coco color has a ? on her back and yes the baby a male is the only one....shouldn't have made it. Mom laid three eggs total her first clutch she's 2yrs old I got her as a rescue about 6 months prior to the male and with reg feeding she got big quick, my male was given to me as a gift from someone a.can't recall who at the moment. The pairing was well a fingers crossed as he had been with my big girl before and well she had 7 eggs she was tending to. when this girl started laying I had a feeling something was up she laid 2 no prob but rolled them around for 6 hours (I was going with maternal incubation) the other egg still not out. I threw together a makeshift bator placed the eggs in with out much hope went to work and had to help a little with the last. the third egg died no more than 5 days in the first egg 10 days in the second egg had great veins. My friend mailed me a bator almost giggling at me for my makeshift setup and well while I was out with the kids our cooler failed in the apartment (southern az) and temps hit over 115 (upstairs too) my big girls clutch was hatching......they didn't make it thanks to the spike so I wasn't holding my breath on the egg as I had heard and seen horror stories. Day 54 came chatting with some breeder friends about to cut or not I opted to wait went to peek and hello world there he was. perfect a little small but perfect....
9/20

moms belly two days prior to son hatching she went into shed next day

dads belly

They all look like nice normals to me...though the parents have some nice reduce pattern or light banding...

However I am not the best at picking out subtle morphs...like fireballs, mochas, yellow bellies and others...so I could be missing something others may see.

I have a couple snakes with similar lack of 'eyes' in the saddles...and reduced/banded pattern (or tiger as they are called by some).
