GHI pastel?
[URL="https://ball-pythons.net/gallery//showimage.php?i=59278"][/URL
Is this GHI also pastel? Bought him in a hurry as expo closing and didn't write stuff down. Now trying to id his offspring.

He's definitely more than GHI, they are way more black. I would say pastel is a possibility but I'm not familiar with how pastel GHI looks as an adult, I just know for sure he's not just GHI.

Thanks you two! I think the picture turned out a little brighter than life. I bred him to a dark combo possible het ghost and think I have half ghost babies but am worried might be pastel instead. Should have a better idea on them after another shed or two. I have noticed het ghosts tend to be lighter.

Post pics of the hatchlings, I'd love to see them and they may help with figuring out the ID.

Here are the boys.
Male #2 I'm thinking cinnamon chocolate based on the rich brown color and the fading to white in the dark areas on the lower sides but could cinnamon Mojave do the same? The abnormal light on the head might be more of a chocolate thing.
I'd love for male #1 to have everything as I want to keep him as a breeder but wondering if he is missing something female #1 has:
I really want him to have GHI so as to upgrade his dad but not sure he is dark enough (but why way less pattern than mom if not also GHI?) and of course hypo/ghost would be very nice but might have to wait another shed or more to be sure on that.

You're right, now I'm confused lol. At least they are all beautiful! The problem is you have quite a few genes in the mix that react similar with ghi. I believe all are ghi but the obvious cinnamon male. None of them look like pastel to me except possibly female 4 but shes still not quite right.
I'm wondering if the gene is fire? It looks like a few could be fire. I honestly don't see ghost in any of them but I don't work with ghost so I'm definitely no expert on it. The only other helpful info that I can give you is that the cinnamon ghi that I produced looks almost exactly like female number two and that's what mine is for sure because that's all that was in the mix.
Beautiful clutch either way, good luck figuring them out.

Thanks rufretic. I hadn't considered fire. I'd much rather it be hypo but if they don't look a lot more ghost after the next shed I'll have to admit you are on to something.
I also didn't realize that GHI could do the same really dark shift for other genes like it does for Mojave. I went to worldofballpythons and looked up GHI cinnamon and the two examples there are quite different but certainly puts some of mine in that range. Unfortunately that leaves me less sure as I thought all the dark ones where Mojave GHI but I guess could be GHI Cinnamon or maybe even GHI something else.
In addition to wanting to weed Pastel and I guess fire out of my dark snake projects I don't want cinnamon on both sides for fear of producing kinked super cinnamons. So now I'm leaning towards keeping female #4 as I'm also not sure I want to produce super Mojave (although a super Mojave super GHI male could be a nice breeder). But if she is fire maybe I should just buy or trade for an unrelated chocolate ghi ghost female.
