Hi, I bred a SHTCTB with a Tremper Sunglow Albino. The first clutch hatched four weeks ago and the Hatchlings look like to become SHTCTB like expected. The next clutch hatched much darker, especially the head is very dark. I know I can wait and will see but I am very curious and impatient to know if the head of the second clutch will turn out baldy - I doubt. what do you think ?
Picture one is the first clutch ( three weeks old when pictured), second picture is one of the hatchlings from second clutch (the other one is very similar to the clutchmate) Thanks, Andrea

Same temperature ( 26 - 27 degrees Celsius) for all, maybe the second clutch had it even warmer (28 to 29 degrees) in the last three weeks because it became warmer in my apartement caused by higher outside temperatures (went for a herp nursery 2 incubator now, this one cools if necessary)
Also I doubt that incubation temperature influences the colour (altough Ron Tremper mentions this on his site - lower temperatures cause darker colour and higher temperatures cause brighter colour), last year I had 14 hatchlings of Tremper Sunglow albinos, they varied a bit in their colour (brighter and darker) but not to blame incubation temperature for that fact, I had dark ones with 31 degrees Celsius (either for male inkubation or I moved TS females after three weeks in the warmer inkubator) and also had bright ones which were inkubated at 26 - 27 degrees for the whole inkubation period. As well there was one hatchling which was a regular Tremper albino, no sign of Sunglow at all. I discussed this with other breeders, they also made the experience that raising the inkubation temperature makes no difference.
