Weird hatchling

Mom was about 5-6 months when i got her...weighing arround 400-500grams.

Pretty results regardless.
If your are sure of the genetics going in, perhaps she is a new mutation?

Even of the odds are huge, they have to happen sometime don't they, in order to get morphs at all?

This would be interesting to see a cluch off of.

Did you get her from a breeder or a Craigslist Joe? Could be they thought they could breed her at 500g..

I bought a normal het VPI from a collection sale, and 8 months later she's pregnant without any pairings from me.

I got her from a breeder friend..have asked him too,he is very sure he never paired her with any snake before

This one is pretty puzzling! Are you going to hold her back? It'd be interesting to see if breeding gives some answers.

I'm thinking dad's also a pewter. If he's a super pastel then all offspring would be at least pastel, which the hatchling does not appear to be. Not seeing much head blushing on dad either.

Did you see the photo of the dad? Definitely not a pewter. Looks pretty standard for a super pastel, and I can guarantee that he does not have cinnamon or black pastel in him.

Wow, that's quite the mystery. I'd definitely repeat that pairing though.

Hold on. I don't know much about how this works, but could it have been parthenogenesis? I mean, mom is a cinny. Or do those clutches result in "clones only"?
