Is There Chocolate at Work in This Clutch
Bought this girl as hatchling as a male Pastel Mojave Chocolate. As "he" grew, I just wasn't sure about if "he" had the Chocolate gene or not. I started pairing "him" with another female, but didn't see any locks for two months, so I sexed "him" and found that "he" was actually a she. Here is a picture of her by herself:

And here is a picture of her next to a 2013 female Pastel Mojave that I produced. You can see that the 2012 female Pastel Mojave possible Chocolate (left) has a different look than the 2013 female Pastel Mojave (right).

She laid a clutch of four eggs for me this season. Here is the whole clutch, top left is the male Mojave Calico, top right is female Pastel Mojave 1, bottom two are the male Pastel Mojave and the female Pastel Mojave 2.

First up is the 2015 Clutch 12 male Pastel Mojave. He doesn't have as bright of yellows as his sister (2015 Clutch 12 female Pastel Mojave 1) and has more blushing, but is that just the difference in Pastel genes? Or is there more to it?

Here is 2015 Clutch 12 female Pastel Mojave 1. She has brighter yellows and less blushings than the other two Pastel Mojaves in her clutch, could be just different Pastel genes.

Here is 2015 Clutch 12 female Pastel Mojave 2. She isn't as yellow as her sister, but has more blushing. Is that just a different Pastel gene, or is it more than that?

And finally, the really cool 2015 Clutch 12 male Mojave Calico. There is only one Mojave Calico on World of Ball Pythons (http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/calico-mojave/), so his variation from the one there may just be the natural variation of the combination, or is it more than that?

I am really leaning towards no Chocolate at work in any of the babies or the mother, but before I put the babies and mother up for sale, I wanted to get some input. Thanks for any help you guys can give.
