Opinions needed

I recently hatched a desert clutch and didn't think much of it until I noticed something funny on one of their bellies. As I started comparing the clutch of five deserts, three of them had to varying degrees some belly marks that transferred from the mother. I looked through the other four clutches and none had these traits.

I am curious to know if anyone else has had something like this happen to them? or could offer a likely reason as to why this occured. Do you think this is worth holding back to play around with? I had originally thought that maybe it could indicate that maybe the snake was het for something, but the more I look I am not so sure.

Any input you may have is greatly appreciated.

Not sure what is going on with mom but she gave off nice belly marks, and a bit more busy pattern. Sge looks nice id keep with her to see if she something, and the babies looks awesome.

I have a normal girl that has markings just like those but she's only 7 months old so I have no clue if they will be passed on or not

I say you should throw desert #2 back to mom and see what happens.

It's tough, but I'll have to make room because I am curious. I was going to hold back 20 babies before they hatched this year and now I'm up to 30 with another cluch of desert cinnamons on the way. It was a great year for females!
