25% Hypo Lav Blood F1 - Distinguishing bro/sis morphs?

"Serpent Science"
I'm toying with the idea of ordering a pair of snakes from Serpenco that will give me hypo lav bloods. If I cross a female hypo het lav blood with a male hypo lav het blood, will I be able to distinguish between the babies produced? IF all 4 possibilities are produced, I guess the difficult part would be telling the difference between the hypo het lav and the hypo het lav blood. Baby hypo lav het blood and hypo lav bloods should be very recognizable though right?
 
I think I can answer this! The baby hypo lavblood will have a clear belly! As will your hypo blood!

Male = Hypomelanistic, Lavender het Bloodred
Female = Hypomelanistic het. Plasma

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
3/8 Hypomelanistic (het. Lavender, 66% poss. het. Bloodred)
1/8 Bloodred, Hypomelanistic (het. Lavender)
3/8 Hypomelanistic, Lavender (66% poss. het. Bloodred)
1/8 Bloodred, Hypomelanistic, Lavender
 
Thanks Nanci! Haha I definitely figured my genetics wrong but I'm a bit rusty from college. It's easier for me to understand it in this way:
1/4 Hypo, het lav, blood
1/4 Hypo Lavender, het blood
1/8 Hypo, het lav
1/8 Hypo Lavender
1/8 Hypo Bloodred, het lav
1/8 Hypo Lavender Bloodred <~~THE GOAL!

I do understand writing in possible hets for actual animals since we can't really know until proven. I need to scrape some change together.
 
I was surprised the hypo het lavbloods were only $75! Two of those would give you:

Male = Hypomelanistic het. Plasma
Female = Hypomelanistic het. Plasma

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
9/16 Hypomelanistic (66% poss. het. Bloodred, 66% poss. het. Lavender)
3/16 Bloodred, Hypomelanistic (66% poss. het. Lavender)
3/16 Hypomelanistic, Lavender (66% poss. het. Bloodred)
1/16 Bloodred, Hypomelanistic, Lavender

Cuts your hypo lavblood odds in half, but costs way less...

You won't be able to find a way to tell the difference. Some het bloodreds have a nice split belly pattern, but that is not 100% accurate.
