Stripe or Jungle?

So two eggs hatched last night. Both I know are snows, since the sire is a super snow, but is it normal for them to have a yellow tinge in what's supposed to be white? I understand that older snows develop yellow in the white, but these guys just hatched.
Also, know for sure that the first one, Boo, is a banded mack snow. With the 2nd one, Banshee, my first thought was "jungle", but hubby's saying "stripe". (By the way, mama's a normal x red stripe)

Little ones are still doing well, but still wondering if anyone's had snows that hatched out with a bit of yellow? Also, would you say that Banshee is stripe or jungle?
Hatched out a "normal" jungle this morning...clearly an aberrant pattern.

I don't know too much about the stripe vs. jungle thing but I guess I would call them jungles because I don't think they have stripes. I'm not sure how straight and clean a stripe needs to be to call them that though. I would think that bright yellow or xanthic geckos could pop out quite yellow since the yellow you see is muted compared to what they would look like without the snow. Again, pretty much making an educated guess :) Cute babies!

Xanthic huh? Now you have me thinking of other morphs included in these snows lol. I doubt it though. The breeder I got the parents from don't even work with xanthics, I don't think. And it's genetic, right?

Would the mother having red stripe in her have anything to do with the excessive yellow?
