First of all nice snakes! It will be fun for you to watch them grow for sure! Secondly, I'm afraid she doesn't look like a Cinnamon to me at all, just a really nice normal :gj:. But that shouldn't matter, she's still a good looking girl! Have fun and take care of those guys!
Cheers,

ok thanks i appreciate the comment ... but now i have a question ... if she is normal why does she have green eyes i personally have never seen a normal with green eyes .. she has the same eyes as the spider ... now i know for a fact that she is 100% het albino ... but if that was the factor wouldnt her eyes be red ... i guess the pictures dont do her any justice cause she looks like a normal in the pics to me as well but in person she is really like a chocolate color with really high whites .... just the green eyes are throwing me off

Het albino eyes are not red - they're essentially normal ball pythons that carry one copy of the albino gene. I've got a couple of normal females that have green eyes. She doesn't look anything like a cinnamon to me, but that doesn't make her any less pretty! Her pattern is not a cinnamon pattern.

Yupyup! As Robin said, sometimes normals have green eyes (which I think is stunning). Hets do not have any visual indications of the genes for which they are hets. Some people may argue against this, as there seem to be some "markers" for things like het Pieds and such, but the general consensus is that these are not 100% reliable. Don't be disappointed though, she's still gorgeous! My first Ball Python was a normal I picked up like 5 years ago, and that is still my favorite snake!
