First Clutch - Need Indentification Help

Hello!

I'm new here and this is my very first clutch of Leopard Gecko eggs. It was from my RAPTOR x Tremper Albino, Jungle, Tangerine, Carrot Head, Carrot Tail, Giant, 100% Het RAPTOR. I got the male four or five years ago and the female two years ago. I love both of the parents and I was so psyched to see their clutch laid and now hatched.

However, one of the babies is very pale. Almost translucent. It's been four days, they've both eaten but the larger one is still pale. I was curious if it was maybe a morph? Or if it could possibly be a problem with the little one's health.

Your opinions are greatly valued. Thank you! -Crissy

This photo was taken right after they hatched.

well thats different. im no expert but id say they are both jungle and the pale on looks like there might be snow in it? what ever it is, it's very light. is it eating and functioning normally? do you have any updated pics yet?

Sometimes if they are a bit "premature" they can start out pretty pale. I've had Trempers hatch out quite pale and darken up eventually. The bottom one looks as if it has a partial reverse stripe, which is not surprising considering that there is a raptor in the mix.

They are both eating functionally. The paler one took a little longer to work the food to it's stomach, but I watched and made sure it did. She also seems a lot more aggressive than her sister. It's cute. :)

I'll get updated pictures later today. Anyone have any clue what morph her darker sister is? She has Red Eyes.

Thank you (all)! Do you think the lighter one will get her color in?

Took this photo a few minutes ago.

Thanks, I'm probably going to be selfish and keep them both! :D
