posted pictures of them when the litter was born, I honestly thought their color was due to being premature. At this point I am not sure what to think.

Parthenogenisis would result in Clones of the mother. This is a viable possibility, since they are all four Anerythristic females.
A Clone does NOT have to have the same pattern, different factors than simply genetics decide the pattern. The only thing that would be the same among the four of them is their Genotype.
Identical Twin pythons have been born many times, and the look different from one-another. However, their gene makeup is the same.
