    Mystery (to me) morph from pastel x firefly breeding....



    Ok..so I had this clutch hatch...and now, so far, no one has been able to definitively identify 2 of the 6 babies that I got. I am fairly new to python breeding, and certainly no expert on identifying genetic morphs...but I figured someone out there has to know. I know what COULD have come from this pairing...just not sure which one these are....the two in question are a male and female that are the same mutation, the male has a (neat) gene that left 1/2 of his face white and unpatterned.

    FIRST PIC: Whole Clutch, the two in question are bottom left, and female crawling over the top.


    SECOND PIC: Whole Clutch, two in question are in the foreground ("Phantom" 1/2 face gene) and female is in the middle


    THIRD PIC: Male in Question..."Phantom"


    Will post more pics as he sheds a couple of times...

    THANKS!!!

    There is a chance the firefly was originally from Mike, but I'm not sure. The pastel was my snake, the firefly belonged to a friend. Neither parent has the 1/2 head patternless. Why do you ask?
