Babies Resemble Mom, Is It Genetic?

Ok, so I have asked about this girl before, but now that she has produced a clutch and some of the babies came out with her traits, is it genetic?

No one?

So you're asking about the banding?

unfortunately I don't really see too much going on... Do you have any pics of them not curled in a ball? It might help see a pattern or something, but honestly they just look normal to me...

The banding and the odd random dots inside the alien heads.

I think she looks a lot like a gravel. If you look at the second pic on this^ forum page, you can see a pic of a gravel.

Edit - csagen - I don't right now. I am going to wait until they shed and get some better pics.

That normal is really cool! It's really granitey. You could always breed one of the males (that you think looks like mom) back to her.

I'm seeing some granite features too. x2 on breeding one of the little resemblance-boys back to Mom, see what happens! (Particularly that normal, if it's male, but that's just because graniting is one of my favorite variations.)

Can we see a group shot with all of them together? Maybe in some indirect sunlight?

I do like that little normal! Very pretty. :P

I see nothing that looks like granite or anything beyond what wild type ball pythons do.
They vary tremendously even in a clutch.

I think I am going to hold all the babies back that look like her, only problem is that, as of now, I think they are all female. Hoping one turns out to be a male.

I am going to wait until they shed and then get some group shots outside and some better individual shots. I'll update this thread when I do.

Thanks everyone for the input.
