Hello everyone
So I rescued a female ball python from Petsmart about 4 years ago, and was under the impression she was a super pastel. I decided to breed her with my proven fire male, and figured that I'd get a clutch of 50/50 pastels and fireflies. Well she laid 4 good eggs that hatched today, and boy am I confused because from what I can tell I got 1 normal, 1 fire, and 2 fireflies. I also don't think she can just be pastel based on her looks, and 2 of the babies look like they might have a bit more going on than just a fire/pastel combo. My guess is perhaps she's actually a pastel enchi? Let me know what you guys think, any help/opinions are much appreciated!
So I don't want to make this post absolutely massive, so I'm only going to embed the photo I took of her, and provide links to the images of the babies.

The babies are ID'd under the assumption she's just a pastel which I don't think is possible. I'm thinking the fire is extremely reduced so perhaps it's a fire enchi? And the fireflies look quite different, #2 is much more orange and reduced, so I'm wondering if it's a fire pastel enchi?
