I first mentioned this boy in this thread... http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ny-Serious-DUW
To make a long story short, I paired a female pastel (3 years old, first time breeder) with a cinnamon and a spider. 4 eggs were laid. 1 normal, 1 cinny, 1 bumble bee, and this thing. Now my only other male breeder this year was a pastel. So it is certainly possible that I screwed up somewhere in my breeding records and also paired her with the male pastel. Obviously the clutch was fathered by both the spider and the cinny... but has anyone ever heard of a 4 egg clutch with 3 babies daddy's before?!
Whatever this thing is, the yellow is getting more and more yellow with each shed. It is eating like a champ and has already shed two more times. The lips and fire say super pastel, but the lack of fading on the back contradicts that. I compared it a couple days ago in person with 2 super pastels, and this thing was a totally different color yellow then the super pastels I was comparing it to. It doesn't have any of the darkening specks yet that you see on pastels... the ones that get bigger and darker as the snake grows.
What do you think?
Here is the snake in question:
Here she is with one of my better pastels about the same age
