Opal, opal motley or opal blood???

[Emanon]

Hey all, I had put this guy up for sale as an opal motley but the more I looked I wasn't sure he fit the bill.
Parents... het hypo amel lavender caramel anery bloodred motley (anyone remember me talking about these guys?)

Now... the fun part...

the guy has a clear belly... blood looking head some pretty good side diffusion and some circle expression but not much... he is very orange as well but not amel looking orange...

So what are the pic requests? more direct sunlight???

This is my opal blood as a hatchling. After several sheds.

His head:

I just don't think you are going to be able to say for sure if yours is one, the other, or both.

 

[Emanon]

Yeah... you may be right... I want to keep him so bad but I also want to go see my dad and I don't have money to do both.

after looking at it further... diffusion is there no doubt... and the head screams bloodred... only thing that trips me up is the orangeness of the animal! Is he too orange to be an opal blood??? There is so much variation in orange to pink among opals!

Here is an opal blood I produced last year to compare to. Sorry it's an old pic, I should take some new ones.

Here's the opal blood as an adult. He's pure white. No yellow. Not even peach like he looks in this photo.
