These 3 snakes were in a 6 egg clutch. The other 3 are normals. What morph (if any) would say these are? I will explain after some responses. Thanks

They look to be low grade pastels to me.

Ron,
Was she bred to a pastel last season? Retained sperm?

I would have to agree, sperm retention. 50% of the clutch, 3 out of 6 is the expected result of breeding a co-dom snake. The colors in all 3 snakes look to be pastel. The 3rd pic shows head blushing. Most important, they don't look anything like a YB.
I would guess that she was bred last year, borderline size. Retained the sperm and this year she was large enough and in proper condition to ovulate and produce eggs.
Just curious, is the YB a first year breeder?

Maybe some type of hidden gene or genes at work in YB's like when random classic jungles are produced from normal looking parents?
If she never bred a pastel ever, there must be something else at work here where YB's can produces pastel type snakes as well as ivories.

This is her first year laying eggs. Last year she was introduced to a Cinny Pastel, Mojave, Spider, & Yellow Belly but didn't lay.
Steve, I couldn't resist adding that song to my page. It is the "North Mississippi Allstars" in case you didn't know. Ron
