My first clutch, guessing the genes, want to learn from you all!
So I am going to post the pics below of my first ever clutch.
I'm making no secret of my very limited knowledge and am fully aware there is so much to learn, and even more to keep learning.
My intention right now is to be a low level enthusiast and to produce happy and healthy ball pythons each season, and learn while I do it. On the happy and healthy front, I feel I've done well this season with 10 good eaters!
My first clutch pairing was a Bell line chocolate* (dad) x enchi pinstripe (mum)
*I can't tell the difference between the bell line chocolate and a normal, and wasn't even aware he was until he was bought and paid for!
So here they are with my best guess to what the genes are;
Number 1: Enchi Pinstripe (has had two sheds now)

Number 2: Pinstripe (currently in shed)

Number 3: I'm going with BL chocolate here, but could just be a normal with and almost jet black contrast to it. The patterns have been mentioned and the possibility of trick or hurricane has been whispered (Mum hiding the genes).

Number 4: Enchi (is in shed but usually resembles No. 10). This one also has two lovely little golden blush spots on the front of the face.

Number 5: Pinstripe

Number 6: Enchi Pinstripe

Number 7: As with Number 3, BL chocolate or normal, but this one has also been mentioned for trick / hurricane.

Number 8: Enchi Pinstripe (currently in shed, usually looks like No. 1)
[IMG] [/IMG]
Number 9: Pinstripe (and a slightly darker contrast to the others).

Number 10: This one is my favourite, by far. The colours pop and is a pleasure on the eye each and every time I take it out. It also has golden blush spots on the front of its face, but there's something about this one that gives it an edge of Number 4. Even a local breeder has "examined" this one without suggestion. I've not sexed them yet, but if this is a male, I'm probably going to keep it...
My best guess: Enchi!

As I say, I'm eager to learn so please help me by pointing out where I may be incorrect, and why! Thank you.
