    Well, all a matter of opinion. My male (sire of the clutch and bought as a hatchling) never exhibited pink spots, nor does he have any white.

    Mother has a distinct head spot and very obvious signs (now that I have looked into it) of low white Calicos.

    These have shed 4+ times. And my breeder has the two male siblings (one with the same traits, one without)

    I agree...Just looks like a nice pastel to me. Any snake with white on it will look pink out of the egg. Nice snake either way.

    My pastel girl looked similar to yours but now thats shes over a year old shes lost all of that coloration. The worst part with my girl was she was bright as heck as a hatchling but she hit a year old and got super dark and ugly now I guess you'll just have to wait and see if there is something special going on with them.

    No need to be like that. I was posting this so that I could get opinions, not harsh criticism.

    Sire as a hatchling. 2 feedings in. No resemblance. Like I said, I'll get some good pictures of mom (weather permitting). I don't expect everyone to see it the same way (I read the toffee hatchling thread), but after taking these to a reputable breed here in South Florida and getting his opinion, I know there is something going on.

    It isn't harsh criticism at all. I didn't day low quality pastel. I said run of the mill pastel. The top half of it's body is browner out already. I was making an observation which is obvious.

    If it makes you feel better, one thing the new one has on the sire is much more blushing.. But there isn't anything "going on" with them. They can throw different colors and patterns every year or with every different dam they are put with. That's the beauty of snake patterns.

    They aren't ugly or bad looking in any way. I'm just saying don't get your hopes up on anything special going on. There really are TONs of variation in pastels.

    Look through as many images as you can on google and bing of pastel ball pythons and hatchling pastel ball pythons. You'll see.

    I have and I am yet to see any with white. I disagree, sorry.

    I think the pattern is awesome but there is a ton of brown already.

    I agree with the others, it's not unusual for pastel hatchlings to have pinkish sides that turn to white after a few sheds.
    It's what white snakes do
