I had asked another member on here their opinion and they said I should post it up to get more opinions because they weren't really sure what's going on either. So here is a bit of back story: I bought a group of ball pythons 3/29/13. The one that pertains to this thread turned out to be gravid. She was sold to me as a normal but I was told that she was sold to him (the last owner) as a Vanilla. Long story short, the eggs hatched and I got a clutch of pastels and normals. One normal male I held back because he looked just like his mother. They both have kind of a reduced pattern to them and both have the same hoof print like head stamp (pic below). Well, this year I bred her to a Mojave thinking that maybe she's a funky kind of Special from a different line or something (was going by the head stamp that her and her son both have which I thought looked similar to the special morph).

I cut the eggs on day 57 (8/8/14). One of the babies scared me right away because he looked like he was lacking a lot of color so I thought he was dead. I touched him and at first he didn't move so I cut it open pretty far. I figured he was a normal that had died during incubation which I thought was the reason for the lack of color. My boyfriend (who saw I was upset) kept telling me he thought he saw it move while I was cutting the other eggs and it turns out he's alive and well! Another one (in the same pic below) is really bright and more orange and yellow than any normals I've seen or hatched and even compared to one of the other normals in this same clutch. It's color looks like pic #5 on World of Ball Pythons for Vanilla: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/vanilla/. The other eggs (2 more) have only shown me their head or belly so it's hard to say what they look like. So far I'm not seeing any that look Mojave to me but I can't say for sure yet I suppose. One of the babies that was hiding himself previously came out of the egg tonight looking a lot like the other one that was lacking color (pics below). I wanted to get your opinion on if these are all just normals of different shades or if there is something else going on here?

Cut at day 57. Incubation temp of 89. Incubator is one that my boyfriend had made for me out of a wine cooler and it's made to blow heat from the bottom through a vent so that it heats evenly throughout and circulates the air with fans. Temps have been steady.

Mother (her hoof print doesn't show up well in this pic but it looks very similar to the older son of hers below):

2 oddballs from this clutch (faded color one is on the left and also has a similar hoof print on his head and the really bright one on the right):
