    I need your help! First time breeding Ball Pythons
    Hi! First of all, english is not my first language (Brazilian living in Buenos Aires, Argentine)
    This is my first post.
    4 years ago I bought a male spider and a female pastel.

    Two days ago after 62 days of incubation I got my first clutch. (10 perfect hatchlings)
    I know the odds of that pairing but this is what I got:
    -2 x normal
    -4 x bumblebees
    -3 x pastels
    And one misterious baby (Number 6). I have no idea what it is.
    Can you guys help me?
    Here are the parents and the hatchlings.

    That is a Super Pastel (Pastel x Pastel)

    The only thingi can think of is that your pastel female is a Super Pastel
    thats why you didnt produce any normals

    Thank you so much for your quick response.
    But.. how is that possible? I have that female pastel since she was just a hatchling and she paired with my male spider!
    :O

    Here in Buenos Aires it is really hard to know where we get our pythons from.
    I only know the country of origin (USA) and thats it.
    If she is a Super Pastel I shouldnt get any normals and I got two!

    Entonces esto esta muy raro!!
    are you sure they are normals?
    can you post pictures of both normals?

    im sure someone else here can help you more than me
