Help confirming morph?

This is my little hatchling. We're waiting out a shed now, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell if he/she is just a standard Amel or if possibly a candy cane? Or is the only way to tell to wait out until adult colors come in? Bought from a petco, so never quite know what you could be getting.

Pure white and bright orange or red is candy cane. If white is stained, orangeish and some other orange or red is present, then possibly only amel. The colors will darken with age if he/she's not pure white.
I bought mine as CC, but orange has been sprouting and it has turned out just a whiter amel.

With that pic I can't say for sure. A close up would be better when he/she sheds.
 
She/He (pretty sure its a female anyways, not brave enough to attempt popping yet) entered blue phase about 2 days ago I think? So the colors in that picture are pretty dull actually. When we first saw her, she was pretty stark white and red with only the barest hints of yellow inside the spots on her neck. Otherwise, on her sides, she's pretty white. I'll grab a pic of her close up if she'll sit still.
 
I'd wait until she's at least a year and half before trying to put such a label on her. They change color *so much*.

Sorry for the crappy resolution, my phone doesn't take the best of pictures for some reason.

Honestly, that's what I figured. I've seen so many pictures where their hatchling colors really don't tell anything of their adult colors. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see! (was just wondering/hoping there was maybe some kind of hint before hand)
 
She/he does look candycane-ish, but do you see those little orange circles on top, in between her saddles? That usually spreads in the ground color.
They do change a lot as they grow.

I know some said that candy canes can develop yellow spots, the main part is that the ground color stays white instead of varying up to red/orange.
 
I'd say amel for the same reason above, those orange spots will spread and the colour will come in. My Timmy in my avatar pic was very red and white but he is orange now!
