New Babies --confirming morphs

Got two new babies at the reptile expo in Pomona, CA last weekend. Both are eating REALLY well and they're already taming down a bit. Both are female, allegedly. I'm guessing this breeder was hatching by temp since everything was labeled...though I've been surprised before.

The black and white was labeled as a Tremper Snow, but I've never seen a Tremper Snow that wasn't more of an albino purple/pink in the dark areas. This looks more like most photos of Mack Snows. Could the breeder have mislabled, or do Tremper Snows also come dark like this?

The Tangerine was labeled "Tangerine Het Hypo". I'm wondering if those very few spots on her back are likely to multiply as she ages, or disappear. Anyone have a theory here? Just curious. Hoping to do some time lapse photography as they mature to show pattern progression, once they're less jumpy.

The snow looks like a very dark Tremper. I agree, most of my snow trempers were, light, but I'm seeing brown not black, so I assume it is a Tremper. The other one, in my opinion, is likely to either lose the spots or retain the ones it has. I have found that it's usually the patternless stripes that add spots as they mature.
