How do you tell the difference between hatchling blizzards and hatchling whiteouts?

Im not sure about whiteouts but I know blizzard hatchlings are totally pink and stay pink for quite a while and slowly with every shed the pink starts to lessen and the white starts to become noticeable

With 27 beautiful corns I definitely have snakeitus :-)

I think its that blizzard is a white snake with faint cream markings (i.e saddles, stripe or motley) whereas whiteout has the diffused gene so it loses its markings?
Blizzard: Amelistic+Charcoal
Whiteout: Amelistic+Charcoal+Diffused

Your best bet would be to look at the belly and see if you can spot any checkers. A whiteout has no checkers on the ventral due to the diffusion,whereas the blizzard does. With this kind of colour though it could be hard to spot.

This is very confusing lol.
From reading Cathy Loves book on corn snakes my 2 are Blizzards, both of mine are very white, 1 has only very very light saddles that are very hard to see unless you take a picture and the flash goes off, and as in Cathy loves book it says "others posses a faint shadow pattern only visible in strong light", and my other one is completely white with no markings what so ever. They both have white bellys too
