    Normal, Pastel & Pins?

    My husband spontaneously bought a Normal ball python from the pet store. To our surprise, she was pregnant! Luckily, we already knew a little about BPs. We were able to make a quick incubator and all 7 eggs are now hatched and healthy. The pet store says they had the Normal female in the same tank as a male Lemon Blast. So far we know we have at least 1 normal, 1 pastel, and 5 pinstripes. Most are pretty obvious, some have slight color variations that threw us off, the normal has some YB characteristics, 2 of the pinstripes are much brighter (one you can tell in the photo) but did not think it could be a Lemon Blast. None of the pictures do them justice. Since this is our first time identifying, we would love to have some reassurance. Thanks in advance!

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Thank you for replying. Yes, surprise babies have been amazing, absolutely love it! That's what we thought but like I said, we're very new at this so wanted more opinions. Especially considering our first clutch was unplanned and we had to do a little research lol

    Yeah, how awesome!? We were a little apprehensive about contacting the pet store to tell them they sold us 7 extra snakes lol they were just happy she went to responsible people.
