 Hard to tell

this is my first clutch ever, pairing was a normal female to a normal male at first, 10 locks, then i got a male butter in there, he got around 10 locks as well.
i cut the clutch a couple days ago and wasnt sure what i had, so hard to tell. i went in again yesterday and took this pic


after hooking my computer up to my 42 inch tv and zooming in on every egg for a closer inspection im pretty sure that the butter got the job done, my brother keeps saying i smashed the odds and got 5 out of 7 butters but im gonna wait to get too excited until they come out and i know for sure. i can tell you that one of them is a butter for sure, the only little guy in there whos face i could see had green eyes and a very light faded pattern.
the wait is almost over, been a long time to get here, i started planning my breeding season in october and i couldnt be happier with the results im getting, in a few short days i will have my very first hatchling and with my other two females gravid its starting to look like i did an awesome job for my first season.

thanks!
i have plastered this pic everywhere i can and everyone that has the capablity to zoom in has said they think my bro is right 5 out of 7 are butters but im not gonna get too excited till they are out and i can tell for sure what i have, i mean i dont wanna be disappointed if there is 4 or 3, i just want healthy the rest is a bonus.
ill post pics once they are out of the eggs.

the only way id say you were wrong about some being butters is if they ar e laying in just the right spot that you saw some blushing/flames and lighter skin- and took th e lighter skin for a butter. I swore I had a pastel- but it was just a nicely flamed normal.

But I, too, think you got a high butter count.

Now, i just hope you didnt steal my odds and i get a low cinny count come thursday...LOO

good luck with your odds, after another careful check my bro is stuck at 5 i say 4 butters, im thrilled either way. they havent ventured out of the eggs yet but this one got the closest and its the one im most sure is a butter
