Possibly a stupid question.

Is it possible to have a pewter ball python that could be mistaken for a cinnamon?

It would be pretty difficult to mix up the two. They look extremely different.

Only if you don't know the difference

You could post a picture if you want us to identify the snake for you. Just to be sure :D

Here's why I ask. I have a male that was sold to me as a cinnamon from a cinnamon to pastel clutch. 1 of 2 things happened,

1. I screwed up in my documentation.

2. He is actually a pewter.

I'm guessing that I screwed up.

I paired him with a normal female, she layed four eggs which just hatched, 3 norms, 1 pastel.

Well I can tell you right now that that is a cinnamon, not a pewter. Has the normal female had any previous clutches? I'm thinking retained sperm maybe? Unless you accidentally put something with pastel in there with her?

retained sperm

I'd say your cinny is not the sire of that clutch, whether it was retained sperm or a mixed-up pairing.

I probably screwed up on the documentation. I remember being so excited finding the clutch in there. I probably wrote down the wrong bin and got them mixed up. I only paired 1 male with each female, each female being paired with a different morph.
