Spotnose?

[alyiahp]

Hi Everyone!

I'm fairly new at identifying Spotnose, and I've seen a lot of conflicting photos online that make me question whether or not my clutch has Spotnose. There are 8 babies (see below) - the pairing was Hypo x (Super) Pastel Spotnose Enchi Leopard YB Clown.

I appreciate in advance any help identifying Spotnose in these babies, or any tips/tricks you can provide to help me determine if it's present! Thank you!

Your photos need to be uploaded to a host server online and then you have to link to the images in order for them to be visible on the site. Ball-Pythons.net only gives you 15 minutes to edit your forum post--so you have to be ready.

I don't work with Spotnose myself, but I can tell you it is part of the Spider Complex Group. I don't really know the patterning and morph interactions. When I'm at expos I usually just look at the Spotnose head stamps (they are prominent like the Spider gene-some of them get super detailed in combos). A lot of the time I can't even see the moustache pattern on the upper lip.

For reference only:

If I was you and uncertain about the hatchlings...I would just mark them as 50% Possible Spotnose.

Also, I hope your female was the Hypo!
(Male x Female = Standard format).
Usually, your male is the powerhouse, and you cross him by multiple females...

Yes, the Hypo is the female! But thank you for the input and help with the pictures! If you can’t tell, this was my first time posting. I will have to redo it and link the pictures correctly. Thanks again!

Ok, here's my second attempt at uploading the pictures.
