This is my first season breeding and it's been a bit up and down. I had an extended power outage and lost a few eggs but now the remaining eggs are hatching.
The pairing was a RADAR x Bell Snowglow
My main question is if there is an easy way to identify the differences between a bell sunglow and snowglow. Are there certain markers to look for? I know the most obvious one would be a lighter coloration on the snowglow but I'm not sure how apparent it would be and I've had trouble finding clear examples online.
Here are my three hatchlings so far, the first born on 8/5 and the second two hatched today 8/25
Photos taken in natural light with no flash or filters/contrast changes
When I first saw her in the incubator I thought she was a snowglow, but then I noticed the amount of yellow on her and marked her as a sunglow.
This is what she looks like after two sheds
These are the two that hatched today. To me they seem much higher contrast and darker than my first hatchling, but I'd like someone with more experience to take a look at them!
So what do you think? All three sunglows? Is there any way to tell on the first one without test breeding?
