First year producing ball pythons...

Hi everyone!

I have been on the site for a while absorbing as much knowledge as possible before attempting to breed this wonderful creature. I have a total of 4 clutches hatching this season, 2 of which are out of the eggs now. I am pretty sure I have identified them correctly, but of course I would love some expert opinions. This first clutch was a Mojave Spider male and a Butter female. The clutch was a total of 5 fertile eggs and all of them hatched. It would appear I produced 1 Butter, 1 Mojave, 2 BEL's (possible spider), and a Spider. I will attach pictures and hopefully I am correct with my assumptions. Thanks for any advice and help. First time posting, so if my images are not sized right on in the wrong forum please advise. My next clutch I will post soon. Its with a Banana Cinnamon to a LemonBlast, 9 eggs.

Both BEL's look the same of course, will have to watch them for wobbles.

Oh I cant help you with Identifying but wanted to congratulate you on your BP's. They look great!

Looks like you got them right. Very reduced pattern on the butter. Nice. You should be able to tell under blacklight if the bels have spider. The pattern will appear very tight. On my super mojave spider I can see the tight pattern right before he goes into shed with the naked eye. I will also say that there is also no doubt he is a spider, he was a train wreck when I got him, and is doing great now.
