Possible chimeras?

[Athenasxylia]

I was wondering what these little guys are. My melanoid and copper laid their first batch of eggs and these are the most interesting of the batch. I got mostly light wildtypes that I suspect are het for coppers and a few leucistics, and of course these guys.

The first one looks like it could be a chimera but I don't think the second one I don't think is but it could be a harlequin

What is a harlequin? I have heard of mosaics but never a harlequin.

Harlequin have 3 or more colours as far as I'm aware.

The first Axolotl is most likely a chimera as there is a distinct lack of pigmentation on one side along the full length of the Axolotl, but you will have to wait and see how the colours develop. The second Axolotl appears to have similar lack of pigment on one side but not to the same extent. Give it a few months and you'll have better results

Thank you so much! I'll post pics as they grow so we can see how they turn out
