    Whats funny is, i recently bought a pastel ball python from a pet store & had a hard time finding a picture of any pastel that looked much like her. After a decent amount of work, i found very few pics of pastels like her........but she has VERY dark eyes as well.

    I would take some pics but she just ate, so i cant get any decent pics until saturday evening-ish.

    It is just about impossible to get on film but the eyes have absolutely no color. Even normals have some color... this one doesnt. here are pics with no extra lighting... light is all from sun, taken while standing in the shade. First two are mom, second 2 are kid

    And one of my own, though the eye colour is somewhat difficult to see from this angle:

    The dark grey eye colour is normal for a super pastel. I still like the idea of parthenogenesis, but I don't think there's a recorded case in ball pythons, and it would be very odd popping up in a normally fertilized clutch.

    Looks like either a Pastel Orange Ghost or a Super Pastel to me.
