How long did the previous owner have her? from what age to what age? Not speaking for BPs specifically, but other snakes can mate & retain fertility for a year
& some for several years+. It's seems unlikely to be a "partho clutch" because typically there is a high likelihood of defects with many that cannot survive. These
look awfully healthy & normal for that to be the case. I'd guess that her first owner tried pairing her (at about 500-600 grams) & since she was too young/small,
nothing happened until she grew & was now physically able to give them a go? Just my guess though? Others will have to help with morphs, I don't breed BPs,
but they're interesting for sure...I assume you're elated?

He bought her when she was about 18 months old. She's 3 years old now. I was planning on pairing her this fall to a mystic potion. I'm totally ecstatic.

So when he bought her she was old enough or big enough that the original owner may have co-habbed her with one or more males, maybe thinking it was OK,
maybe just to see what happens or thinking all were the same gender, or not knowing it wasn't a good idea to house together? One way or another, a male got
the job done, but her body wasn't ready yet, until now. Heck of a surprise, eh? FYI, I had a corn snake many years ago that laid good eggs for FIVE years total
after one mating... The downside is that snakes that reproduce when they're still too young & growing may have a shortened life, as breeding takes quite the
toll on their body, especially immature snakes. If you like what she has produced (lol) you'd probably be wise to hold-back at least one offspring, and don't let it
breed so young. The snakes I've bred have never been under 4 years old (not BPs, but same idea).

I'm thinking pinstripe too, especially with the one with finer markings.
This is snake #5. Waiting on one more to come out

Such a cute mystery! It's crazy how snakes can hold back sperm and decide when they want to lay eggs.

I'd say you hit the jackpot. Your snake just paid for herself. I really like the dark leopard!

All out, group shot.
I'm thinking Leopard Pastel was the daddy, though Leopard Pastel Clown Spider looks a LOT like a couple of these. The head stamps are really throwing me off.
