For those of you that don't know, I decided to pair my Super Raptor female and my "Dreamsicle" male this year, to hopefully produce Dreamsicles, Mack Raptors, Super Raptors and Super Novas. You will understand why that is in quotations in a minute.
After being bred, this girl laid me 12 eggs, 9 of them being fertile. So far, 5 eggs have hatched. And from what I can tell, I believe they are ALL Dreamsicles.

This morning, the 5th baby poked its little head out. At first I thought it was dead, and I was bummed, so out of curiosity I helped it out of it's egg to see what it would have been, and it jumped up onto the back off my hand. I believe I soiled my pants at that point. It was about 6am.
This thing has VERY little patterning. But it still has a "pattern" per se, so I think what i'm seeing is a very lightly patterned dreamsicle. There are two faint spots over both shoulders, and some SUPER SUPER faint blotches on her head. Almost un-noticable. Here are some photos:
My question is: Do super raptors and super novas HAVE to hatch with absolutely NO patterning? Could this one be something besides a dreamsicle? Or am I just faking myself out.
Here's my other question, and this one is KILLING me: Could my "dreamsicle" male be a Nova? He's never proven himself as a dreamsicle. He's only bred once, to a Mack Raptor, and produced one hatchling, the spitting image of said "dreamsicle" in question. Here is dad:
So basically what it comes down to is, if I don't produce a Super Nova or a Super Raptor from this pair, I have STILL not proven my "dreamsicle" male as a dreamsicle. Which really, REALLY infuriates me. And in that case, heads will roll...
Please someone help figure out this mystery.
