    What morphs are these?
    I'll tell you what these were sold to me as after some people give their guesses, I don't want to influence anyone's opinions before I hear them. I'm 99% sure on what the last one is, but I'd like confirmation on it. If anyone would like to see additional pictures, that is possible, but please keep in mind that I am currently out of town and I have to contact my dad to get them. There's a timezone difference, so it could take a few days. Thanks for looking! :)

    My amateur guesses:
    Pastel lesser (maybe enchi?), mojave bumblebee, and dragon fly?

    Alright, two of those guesses are close to what they were sold to me as. I'm pretty positive that the middle one isn't a mojave bumblebee, seeing as I have a female mojave bumblebee that doesn't look very much like him. Your other two guesses aren't far off what they were sold to me as. That definitely helps me a fair bit. :)

    Anyone else have some ideas?

    The "mojave bee" was the one I was least confident about - I have one too and she's not quite the same, but the markings have a brownish look to them and I couldn't think of what other gene would do that. 😋

    They're all very nice, by the way!

    Yeah, he's the one that I'm most confused about. I keep second guessing what he is, haha. Every time I pull him out of his tub I end up on WOBP again trying to figure out what his morph is and if the seller was accurate. In person, he's almost caramel and chocolate colored.

    Thank you! These three have to be some of the prettiest snakes in my collection. :)

    Caramel and chocolate... interesting! Definitely looks like there's something more than bumblebee in there, in my opinion anyhow.

    Yep, there's definitely more than just bumblebee there. He was sold to me as a four gene animal, but I'm not sure that one of those genes is in there.

    Hmm. I figure since one person has already guessed, I can say what they were sold to me as now.

    #1
    Enchi Lesser Pastel

    #2
    Enchi Lesser Spider Pastel

    #3
    Super Pastel Fire Pinstripe

    I'm not sure if pastel is in #1 or #2. Can anyone confirm that these morphs are accurate or not?

    Pastel Lesser Enchi
    Lessebee
    not sure on #3, I'm thinking Dragonfly

    Just out of curiosity, how do you tell if a lesser has pastel with it? I have the hardest time with that.

    Hmm, alright. I'm not sure that #2 is just a lesserbee, his pattern is more broken up with wider stripes than I've seen on any lesserbee. Do you have any pictures of subadult lesserbees I could look at?

    #3 I'm thinking is a sherbert fly, at least that's what I was told, but she could be a dragonfly. Do you know where I could find pictures of subadult sherbert fly and dragonfly ball pythons? I looked on WOBP, and she looks like the last two pictures on the sherbert fly page. I don't know what a dragonfly looks like when it ages, so that's the only reason I'm not sure on her.
