Raptor or snow raptors? I'm fairly certain most if not all are snow raptors but I figured it would be good to get some other opinions.
I know they have a lot of color but previous snow raptors[super nova father] I've hatched looked a lot like this as well.
Parents are reverse stripe snow raptor X snow eclipse het tremper.
Eggs were incubated at around 80F.

Can provide hatchling pics if required.

How old in these photo? I've had some over the years hard to tell but usually the day they hatch snows are pink and white.

These were just taken today so about about a month or so if I remember correctly.
Although I've never really had any snow raptors hatch out that were pink and white, most of them being weirdly colorful but some I know without a doubt that they were snow raptors because of having a super nova father.

Here's some pics closer to when they hatched -

Also here's the mother and father - https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=48aec367f5e774075a22ce5295d49b7a&oe=569B7A69

Both confirmed snow as they also produced a total eclipse and super raptor.


And here's a snow raptor I've hatched and still have though from different parents - https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...3_10207704736041954_4010753761119067359_o.jpg
high contrast raptor x super nova


Normally I would jump and say that they were raptors but considering the circumstances, I'm left a bit skeptical.

I see what you mean about the father being a supernova. The hatchling pictures still don't look like snows to me. I don't have any explanation.

I see your problem my afghan raptors were the same way, so I stopped snows all together. The second I'm sure but the first not sold on that only because most mack as hatchling I've hatched had very clean tails like that second. I love how some of your raptors have Aptor coloring to them. I've never hatched any like that. I have never incubated less than 83 I wonder if 80 brings out the darks making it harder to tell.

Well, seems most folks seem to be leaning more towards raptor so that's what I'll label them as, though will mention the possibility of snow.
At least in the future this won't be a problem as I plan on staying away from pairings that can produce snow and non snow.
