There were a total of 4 of them and I took them all and to top it off they are all females. So I get them all home and I cant take my eyes off of them so after a few hours of looking at them through the plastic I go to bed and wake up today really wanting to get confirmation on what I think they are so here we are. I took a few pics of the least extreme of them all head, belly, full body, and one of the pattern up close. They were taken from my cell so sorry if they are not great quality.
So let me know what you think these are... I ask only because the breeder claims it was only a normal to normal breeding but I know for a fact he was just tossin any male he had with any female he had and was rotating them all throughout the season.
Did you yourself verify the genders? I find it hard to believe someone would sell females who could be cinnies or HRA to a pet store.I could see males though.

Yes I verified the genders. I am going to be breeding 2 of them to my HRA and the other 2 to my Cinny I just picked up when the females are breeding ready in a few years. I just can't wait to see what I pop out.

They are not cinnys. They have some granite looking speckles and the pattern is really cool looking. I don't know what they are but they are some really interesting looking snakes!

Ok as stated in the original post the origional person who has owned snakes for all of 6 months said it was a normal to normal breeding. I know that the father to those babies could be a pastel, cinny, het red, ghost, lesser, normal, or a granite. He took his males and puth each one with each of his females that was the only clutch he produced and because the normal was the last one with her he says there is no way it could be anything but the normal as father to babies. As we all know that is not true it could be any one of those males or all of them. So the "breeder" who produced them has no clue what he is doing and sold them as unsexed normals because he has no clue how to sex a snake at all. The store owner showed them to me I said if there were any females I would take them so he and I went to work popping we both popped each baby twice and then just to confirm that we probed them because neither of us could believe that they were all female. So I took them all for a little above what he paid and that was that. Now I have them and I plan on breeding them out with a cinny and a het red that I have already in my collection and seeing what I get. When they are breedale there will be posts from breeding to eggs to hatching all they way through first shed. Until then I do know they are nothing more than a dinker and I am treating them as such.
