I am not sure if this is the case here, but most Boids can retain sperm and cause more then one sire to father a litter in boas or a clutch in pythons.

Most times this happens the female has been mated with the two males that same season, but sperm can be stored and used so it is possible, but I am not sure that is what happened here as I can not decipher those morphs to an extent as to be sure that what you have as a phenotype there, if so the stored sperm would explain the phenomenon.

>>This was not only a super litter for me but intresting.
>>Last year I put my Hypo to this female, I seen plenty of breeding , but not a litter. So Is it possible that she retained the sperm from the hypo?
>>On one of the pics, you can see - two - either 2 hypo's or 2extremeley clean pastles, they are much smaller than there siblings and full of yolk, but is it possible they are from the mating of my hypo to her last year?
