Your Opinions Please - Diamond Hatchling

Hi all,
Just wanted some opinions on the diamond hatchling my hubby and I have just bought (we pick it up next weekend). We previously had a 5ft diamond female with the classic roset and dark green markings. The hatchling we are picking up has rosets and stripes and should have quite high yellow makings. I prefer the classic look but my hubby really likes the parents of this hatchling. Just wanted to know what other people thought. Have attached pics of Mum, Dad and hatchling.
Cheers

I would love to all of them.

Some of my Port Mac hatchies look like that little guy.

The top one is really super ugly ...and...I think in its best interest you need to sell it to me very cheaply












That female is one beautiful animal!! I just love the classic black and white diamonds!

I agree Moose, but you dont need to be a martyr. I'll take it. You can take dad.

Is the hatchling you're picking up the one in the last photo as the 2 above look different again and I hate to say it but the only one that looks like a TRUE diamond to me is the first one,the other 2 look like different animals again and both look more like intergrades than TRUE diamonds,am I the only one thinking the same thing?Just my thoughts that's all as that's what you asked for.

Don't get me wrong they're all top looking animals but as others have said their Port Macs look like that,do you have a pic of the parents at all?I hate intergrade threads but when someone new to the hobby is sold what looks like an intergrade rather than a pure diamond it gives me the shirts,not that either variety aren't nice animals.

Oh yeah mcnell that is not a mammal it's a reptile,big difference between the 2!
