    Re: Baby Calico experts needed!
    Thanks for the input guys! I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. They do look like something's going on and if not Calico, then I don't know what. Here's a pic of mom.

    Funny, female 2 is the only one that looked aberrant, to me. I admit, however, that I don't have any calicos, so obviously I have no idea what to look for, lol.

    Re: Baby Calico experts needed!
    Here is a link I posted last year, where a handful of people posted how she wasnt a calico and what not.

    http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...alico-Question

    If I were you I would go to the next link and follow thru and check out the hunters guide to see what and if each snake has all the characteristics. From your pics its very hard to tell but from the belly pics it suggests to me that none are calicos. But If you have the room I would probably keep all the babies and as they age they will become more obviously calicos if they are calicos. Tonight I will take pics of the girl from the first link and show how low white she is, yet its pretty obvious now that she is def a calico.

    One trait to look for in calico's asides from white scales is the gold banding around a generally reduced pattern. The gold banding is more pronounced as babies and I don't see it in any of yours as well as no white scales. Many calico's are also ringers.

    As I posted yesterday here are some pics of my 2010 female calico that was in that thread I linked, I am a firm believer that with luck like mine I will eventually produce the lowest white calico in the history of ball pythons!!

    And close up of one of the like 5 white spots she has, she does have alot of blacks and stuff mixed in which is kinda neat but far from the average thought of what a calico looks like

    Hope this can help in some way or another
