baby morph appearance

[Whammo72]

Hi all, Im new here and I assume this question has already been asked and maybe quite frequently. If i'm right about this please be patient with me.

Do hatchling leos morphs appear different then normal hatchlings? If so is it drasticly different enough to be able to guess the morph or can one only tell once adult coloration sets in? Assuming they DO look different is there anywhere on the net that has a photo guide of what you might expect a hatchling morph to look like?

It depends on the morph. The eye color and general pattern (or lack of pattern) show up after hatching. The amount of spotting can be guessed but it's not a sure thing. The degree to which a Mack Snow will turn yellow is also a matter of waiting, especially if the hatchling gets its snow gene from a super snow parent (which is only black and white so there's no way to tell what color genetics are operating). I hope that's helpful.

They do change alot, quickly too. I went to the before and after sticky in the show off your leos section of this forum, to help me imagine what my babies would grow into.
