Is anyone able to identify/explain which kind of morphs some of these hatchlings are. I'm perplexed to why some look like silkies but it's impossible with the pairing.
Dad.. Hypo leatherback Mom.. Normal red hypo trans. Thanks

Some absolutely do look to be silkies but it could be that they are micro-scale instead. I can't tell 100% from the pics.
There are two types of leatherback co-dominant, and recessive. My best guess is you dame carries the recessive leatherback gene. (Thats why i say they may be micro-scale). Keep a close eye on them for skin damage and shed issues, you might want to separate them into individual setups. If they are silkies their going to be fragile.

Thanks for the input. I'm unsure on care for micro scale beardeds, would they require the same kinda skin care as silkies?.
I only have 4 hatchings this way and a couple of spare set ups if required.
