    Need Serious Help, sold to me as normal, but none look the same

    Well like the title says, i just bought 4 normal ball pythons 2 male and 2 female.
    then when i got home and had them under good light i noticed that really none of them looked the same,
    now i know normal balls can look many ways and have different designs,
    I would just like to have someones opinion who has been dealing with balls for a while.
    any help would be appreciated


    Left to Right= male, female, male


    left to right= Female, Male (same from above pic)

    We would be better at deciding with pics of side, head and belly patterns for each snake.

    But in the first pic my guesses are:

    Normal, normal in shed and cinammon in shed.

    Bottom pic : possible fire, but needs to see more pattern to be halfway sure, and the normal again.

    I see a Normal, Black Back Normal, Cinnamon in the first picture.
    In the second, normal and possibly a really low quality Black Pastel.

    I believe that left in the top picture and right in the bottom picture is the same snake.

    I also see normal, normal, cinny in the first pic and 2 normals in the second.

    Two are for sure normals, light normals to be sure but normals. The third snake in the top picture looks very much like a cinnamon to me. Can we see a few more pictures of that one?

    Edit: Now that I look again, it is possible the female in the top picture, the one who is deep in shed right now in the middle, just might be a low quality pastel. I can almost make out what appears to be a brown out line on her side.

    Yeah, ditto that snake on the far right in the very first picture might be a cinnamon. Definitely would like more pictures, including at least one of the top of the head. This deep in shed, it could even be a mojave, we can't really tell with just that one picture.

    And I do see hints of pastel in the blackback female in shed, but I suspect she'll shed out and still be a blackback normal. But it's worth posting a post-shed picture of her. She's certainly a nice blackback.

    In the second series of pictures, you guys really think that blushing on the top of the head of Snake 2 is consistent with a normal? None of my normals or hets have anything like that.
