I'm far from a granite expert, but I would say the one on the left looks far more granite than the other one.

The one on the right looks more granite-like in person but i definitely see what you're saying

One is way better than the other but both of them have the visual signs to be genetic. Hope that helps. Thanks David

Keep them both and breed them to yellow bellies. They both look kool. I personally like the one on the left better, But the one on the right have a very different pattern. Very kool looking granites, I am not 100% sure what you will get when you cross the other morphs into them, But I am working with several different granite looking animals that are just now becoming of age,so I shouldknow more about the Granite TYPE ball pythons. I would say raise them up and keep them both and see what happens. Thanks David

The snake in your last picture is very beautiful!! Personally granites are one of my favorite balls. I hope, pray, and keep my fingers crossed that they are genetic.
