So I've ended up with a few (hundred) little ones, and I'm quite uncertain when it comes to their genetics. Could you guys help me sort this out?

The mother is a copper, at least that's what I was told. I've read contradicting info about eye color in coppers, but her eyes are black. This is her:

The eggs were white and the babies are very light in color, but they do have some pigment:

These are the potential fathers, a cute copper and a chonky lucy:

Do coppers look this light when young, or is something else happening here?

I have no info on the parents of any of them, but the two coppers are most likely siblings as they were the same size when I got them together.

Thanks for any help!

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
