    I can't help with morph ID.

    But were the new animals quarantined before putting them with your other snakes??

    Need better pictures in natural light.

    Guess from photos: 1 Normal, and 1 Fire.

    I see 2 normals and possibly a hypo.

    True, but can't hurt to educate.

    —— Yes they were, we’ve had them for about. 6 months, this is the first time they’ve touched any of our other snakes.

    is this picture better?? Obviously we know our bigger name is a normal, we were thinking that shadrach might be a normal also, but weren’t 100% because his pattern seems different.

    this is our normal (bottom of the pic)
    and our pastel (top of the pic)
    with the lighter python in question
    so I don’t think he’s a pastel.

    I replied to some other posts with better pictures, I think you might be right about both, we definitely realized that shadrach might be a normal when we saw her next to our older normal, but the other one definitely looks more like a fire than any other I’ve seen so far. There’s just sooo many morphs, it gets hard to narrow it down, & even when I think I’ve figured it out I question it lol. Thanks for the input!

    Those are not better photos.....
    Too close and lighting is still off.
    Does the one you think is a Pastel have green eyes?

    Her eyes have a green hue, but she’s not in question we 100% know she’s a pastel. It’s just the 2 smaller snakes she are unsure of.

    Based on the new photos (which are also difficult to see): I agree with PitOnTheProwl regarding the lighter colored snake most likely being Hypo. Hypomelanistic (Ghost) ball pythons shed clear--so you should be able to figure it out if you compare sheds with your normal. :)

    If I get the chance today I will take pictures of a Ghost and a Fire side by side for your comparison.

    Total score pictured IMO: 2 Normals, 1 Pastel, 1 Hypo

    BC is a little low on the ghost because she laid eggs yesterday, but, you get the idea. :)
