I'm working on breeding my pair of sumatran bloods and i'm looking to get a 50/50 chromeheaded batch. when sumatrans are young they all have really light heads. how can you tell a chrome head from a regular when they're hatchlings?

I've seen hatchlings with both dark heads and silver chrome heads right out of the eggs.

Never heard of het for chrome before.
I've got Bloods and Borneo Short Tails.
I haven't noticed it much with the Borneos but the bloods heads all change color.
They go all the way from jet black to a shiny silver, just seems to be something these snakes do.
I've also noticed that Sumatran Short Tails heads also change color.
