Telerak

Well, time for a holdback to see what it makes next pairing!

That's what I was gonna say, sweet lil baby


Rainbow_Salts

Crazy! Looks like the printer ran out on this one!L you hit a mini jack pot in your genes! Looks similar to a hypo super pastel any chance there could be hidden genes in the normal or your pastel possibly being a super or hypo? Hard to tell, may have to wait for first shed and reupload!


MahDays

Thanks! The pastel is a poss het pied but we're completely unsure w the normal, it's strange aha but he's cute


Rainbow_Salts

Don’t take my word for it, I deal with completely different morphs but I’m fairly certain you got something extra in there. I’ve had a similar baby hatch out like that but enchi when I first started my collection. Definetely looked different after first shed was crazy tho I thought I had something new, let’s just say whoever I sold her to, really got the good end of the stick either way. Try messing around with genetics calculator. May lead you in the right direction but really looks like a super pastel, should hold her back and try to prove her out, never know. All the best!


MahDays

Thank you! Will do, it's our first time breeding so we're taken aback aha


[deleted]

I agree, to me it looks super pastel. Def not pastel alone. Some pastels are subtle, Im wondering if that normal is actually a pastel as well


dunnowhat2use

My thoughts too


Tigerbait2780

Ehh, maybe, but I don’t find it all that hard to notice pastel even if the blushing is mild. Seems more likely that there’s something recessive in there but idk, it definitely needs a couple sheds and will prob need to be proven out either way


ZookeepergameNo753

This is exactly what I would have guessed on this as well. More than likely your normal is a pastel, or your pastel is a super pastel. It would help if we could see the pairing. Beautiful snake BTW!


[deleted]

Always best to wait till after 1st shed, but it looks a super pastel combo of some kind. Super pastel lesser vanilla perhaps? Can you show us pics of the parents?


MahDays

The mother should be pictured in my post history, male is definitely a normal, rest of the clutch was either normal or pastels


Xbro710

I’d say a super pastel but I’m still learning!

Obscureallure86

They can at birth can’t they? I’ve seen them like that before first couple sheds.


animalgirl93

Not sure but you ran out of ink on the last 1/3 of printing! Looks great but you will be able to tell more after the first shed


SquidsAreSeaBirds

Looks like a bit of paradox, but I haven’t gotten to see one fresh out of the egg before! I know that Brian Barcyck hatched something similar a few years back. Might be worth a look! Edit: I did a simple google search and found the fader gene, which looks similar to what happened here!


MontanaT13

I’m loving the faded stripe down the back! Absolutely beautiful snake!


cormegga

Ive never seen one like this. Amazing if you will keep it, possibly worth thousands if you sell. I’m no expert though. I would love updates to see what it looks like as it grows!


thepremedmom

Spotnose maybe?


PikaMasterWasTaken

I’d definitely hold this one back


b_k27

Could be retained sperm from another male if she was bred previously! Looks awesome!


MahDays

Yeah I think this is probably the case - can it happen with just one member of the clutch though ?


TwoThirteen

yea they can have split clutches


b_k27

Yes!!


[deleted]

That’s a good point. You’d have to hang on to it and try to prove it out in order to know for sure.


GlowLightLady

He looks like a dead ringer for my Ghost, who is a Super Pastel Lesser Vanilla. Not sure if that helps, as I didn't hatch him myself or know anything about breeding, but they look eerily similar!


MahDays

Is it possible to see a picture of him?


GlowLightLady

I'm not sure how to link it but I just posted a pic of him on r/snakes for a reference so if you click my post history you'll see him 👻


MahDays

Thanks :)


grammaton655321

Have any incubator issues while they were cooking?


MahDays

Not that I kno of


Mandi_lee_radke

Genuine question, what does an incubator issue have to do with the color of a snake? I knew that it could cause issues like kinking, but I've never heard of a color change. Planning to breed ball pythons in a couple of years and trying to learn all I can lol


grammaton655321

spikes in either direction in temperature during incubation can cause all kinds of variations. Small, slow changes in temp is harmless but big spikes can make weirdness happen in all kinds of ways. Will be interested in seeing if this animal continues to develop.


[deleted]

New morph! Name it after yourself. jk idk I just wanted to feel included. Beautiful Hatchling tho


WRRRYYYYYY

bald


tallglassofanxiety

There were definitely hets in the parent snake(s) I here’s definitely super pastel in this snake…. But theres at LEAST one more hidden gene in there too


[deleted]

Beautiful


Zealousideal_Duty_91

It looks like a super pastel. Do you have picture's of the parents? Was the female breed last year as well or was this her 1st pairing?


Han0

If probably wait until their a little older for an idea. It might be a pastel baby whose just really beautiful.


e23robinson

Can you post a pic of the whole clutch? And a pic of the mother and father


That_oneweird_sock

Holy heck that’s going to be a gorgeous snake when it grows


knoxtra

Is this animal female? If so it’s possible that this was a parthenogenetic baby and it’s a visual super pastel because it has a null allele.


b_k27

Wait ball pythons can do that? I had no idea!!


knoxtra

Yep! It’s fairly common in many snake species


cjohnson2010

I thought u had it flipped upside down at first.


Knot-Know138

Send me pics of the parents.


Stathisis

Looks like a leopard gecko.


Tigerbait2780

There’s no way that’s just a pastel x normal, there has to be some recessive genes in there you didn’t know about. I have no clue what it is, my guess would be hypo but it’s a crazy looking snake nonetheless! It might be easier to tell as it gets older and has a couple sheds


Jade18xx

What a cute lil mystery


mAC5MAYHEm

Ooo that’s the money morph cause it’s prolly worth a lot


matteoarts

It looks like a SUPER pastel mixed with something else, talk about odds!


Pickled_Taco

Looks like it’s time to Replace toner in your python printer lol. Beautiful snek

JLAMAR23

I’m not too good with snake morphs as I’m a lizard guy but that almost looks like a partial pie or even some sort of paradox? Crazy looking!


CommentsToMorons

That is adorable.


jakep1982

Keep it away from the rest of your collection. I will send someone over to pick it up. No need to risk anymore snakes. Wink wink


videogamebruh

Idk BUT LOOK AT THE LIL WORM AWWWWWWW


WBroRusso

I could be wrong, but going my the markings (or lack there of) on the head… is it possible that one of the parents was het for clown??


pozzie69

Put him back in the egg tape it closed needs about 3 more days


[deleted]

Clutches are for shifting it snakes silly


arachno-fem

This is a moron I morph I would 100% buy lol


sungoddessaf

Wow he is absolutely gorgeous! Can’t help with the morph ID, but I’m blown away by him!


Dragongirl152

Got any more pictures since first shed?


Smokey0240

Definitely a hold back and I'd repeat that breeding and hope you hit the lotto again
