Raptor X SS het Raptor

[Landen]

I say it's a banded mack raptor but it looks to have snake eyes. Hatched out saturday 13th late night so haven't done much but take this first pics. What's everyone's take or opinion?

can you get a closer up photo of the eyes?

 

[Landen]

my camera is messed up and will not zoom but this one show's it a little better. I haven't cropped the pics or resized them yet. Hopefully santa will bring me a new camera !

i still can't tell but i have bad eyesight. can you move your lens closer to the eye not zoom just physically move the camera closer? i know the photos might be blurry but they might be enough to confirm the eyes

 

[Landen]

trust me i've tried. This camera has been dropped too many times and just will not focus. That's the best I can get with that camera. There is snake eye on both sides but they are very light red compared to my ss tremper's solid reds.

it does look like a mack raptor

 

[Landen]

that's what I was hoping for. Proves out my male ss as het raptor as well, so big plus there. Not bad for the 2nd egg this season. Hopefully it's proof of good things to come.

i got my first egg last week lol

 

[Landen]

my ss was ready to go and the raptor didn't put up a defense !! I've got 4 more eggs in the bator too. Only bred 2 females early though. The rest of them will breed in about a month

the difference between mack tremper eyes and Mack raptor eyes(snake eyed) can not be differenciated in these images. You atleast have a mack tremper het raptor and after a few sheds you should be able to see snake eyes if it's really a mack raptor.

Trempers hatch with blazing red eyes .

I can visually see clear snake eyes when looking with my eyes. I agree you cannot see it for sure in the pics. It definately looks to have different % of snake eye in each eye. I'll post more pics as it gets better, or hopefully a new camera comes here in a couple weeks....

Updated pics

Here are some recent pics of the same hatchling. It's nearly all white and pink but is developing some very nice orange highlights, primarily on the head and neck.
