When these guys first hatched, I was told they will be wild type but I am wondering if wild types are usually this yellow when they are young? They are about 4-5cm long, their mother is copper and father was either white albino or leucistic. I assumed leucistic as I was told they were wild types. I have attached a photo of one of the babies, the mother and both males, either could be the father.

The juvenile is a wildtype.
 
Awesome, thanks Kaysie. I wasn't sure if wild types are so yellow when they are young.
 
Wildtypes are extremely variable. They can range from pale, creamy almost-white to nearly black and everything in between. And it's impossible to judge adult coloration based on what they look like as larvae. They'll almost always change by the time they become adults.
