Okay so I'm looking at a hatchling at the moment which I kind of like. I asked for pics of the parents which the seller emailed me over, however they're just head shots. I would put money on mum being a hypo but I have no clue about dad! His eye colour has really thrown me and I'm wondering if maybe a hybrid? They look olivey green and he looks rather anery-ish. Could this be an adult ultramel anery?
What do you think..

I think you may be right. Got two new pics..
Dad again
Mum
Both taken under a more reddish light source
Asked for description of bellies to see if mum really is hypo, but the clutch have clear normals and then much much paler with no black on. |

Actually, expecting mum to not be hypo as there were aneries in the clutch. |

I think you may be right which makes mum het anery and hypo if they did indeed produce hypos. |

The plot thickens... can this be a normal with this belly? Or is it a hypo? And if it's a hypo and the dad is a ghost, how did they get normals and aneries?
Mum's belly
Dad's belly

I'm gonna guess ghost and (very pretty) normal Although in that last belly shot, the 'ghost' looks SO similar to my Apollo who is an anery (not in the first pics though, trick of the light perhaps?) |

Okay so she's a normal then. Starting to make more sense, although he emails me back to talk about previous clutches from these two and how he normally has more colours. He's had amels and stripes! Now, I'm not 100% sure on this, but I thought if corns carried both motley and stripe then you'd never get visual stripes, is that right? And the most recent clutch has motleys in it.
So confusing, but at the same time sort of fun :) |

IF there were normals or anerys in the clutch i have a suspicion its all the other way around, and mum is hypo and dad is a pale anery.
It is impossible for this pair to produce motley AND stripe because they are normally patterned. This means each can only pass down motley OR stripe. Two motleys = motley, two stripes = stripe, one of each = motley. |

Thanks for the clarification, Eejit :) I reckon they've had maybe pinstripe motleys? They're both definitely het for motley as the motley babies of this clutch are plan as day. And it's an interesting point about the dad maybe just being Anery.
So they have:
Male Anery het amel, motley and hypo Female Hypo het amel, anery motley |

Yes, or one of them could have been het stripe as the offspring could also look like motleys :) |

Corno is getting lighter and pinker all the time and is only 18 months, I could quite accept she may go as pale as him given a few more months as they look quite similar already. She is anery, and was quite dark as a hatchling but had a ghost father so maybe it's normal for an anery het hypo to be a little lighter? I did wonder at one point if she was a ghost, but she was so dark as a hatchy and has nice black belly markings, so surely she can't be? Lol!
Pics of corno for comparison:
