So... it's kind of a crazy story. I got this pair off craigs last year. The lady I got them from wasn't a ball python finatic but she was planning on breeding them. She was selling them to get into chameleons instead. These were her only snakes and she said they were a morph of some kind.. she got them from a private breeder as hatchlings for $150 each and that she said she kind of remembers him saying something about pastel but she wasn't sure and can't remember. I personally don't know how you could spend $300 on a pair of snakes and not know what they are but she was living on the pretty nice part of town so maybe she just had money to blow like that... I don't know. I got them anyway just to see what happens since they do have nice markings mabye something will come out of it who knows.

So what either happened was she got ripped off buying a pair of snakes she thought were pastels.. or they're het for something. What I'm thinking COULD have happened in a very very long shot that if the guy she got them from didn't rip her off and she really did pay $150 each for a pair of something 3 years ago.. that they might be het pieds.. because I think if you didn't know much about ball pythons or the morphs then "pastel" and "het pied" could be mistaken for each other if you haven't really heard of them before..

So here are some pictures of them last year around this time when I got them. The male has lots of yellow on his sides and a pretty spotted belly. The female has the more clean looking belly and they both have good blushing in the black on their sides.
The female has been locking up the male several times in the last month and I have a good feeling she's starting to build and might be going sometime later around September.

I would love to hear what people have to say and think about this!
