I don't have pics of the Indians at the SDZ but I am a California breeder. I have put a handful of them into the hands of retail shops and collectors here in this state over the last couple of years. I am no longer working with Indians but I managed to dig out some pics to demonstrate that there is variability among a clutch of anything. There may be a general appearance assigned to a particular type of snake(or any living creature), but you cannot judge solely on slight differences in pattern or color in most cases(or your personal expectations for that matter).
I do not have a pic of the entire litter but I have pics of an adult pair and about half of their offspring to demonstrate the variability among this one clutch as an example.

Baby 6I.08M
Baby 8I.08M
I was unable to locate the other half of the baby pics. The first digits should be sequential and if I remember correctly there were 12 babies total. It is still enough to show variability between the parents and the offspring that they throw. Compare the head patterns on numbers 5 and 8. How much they may have changed as they have grown I do not know but I am sure they still look different from one another. I hope this helps.
