What am I?

So I hatched this lil guy out and well...we are baffled at what it is. The clutch contained 3 butters, 2 normals, and this lil guy. The breeding was a normal female x a butter male/pewter male/bumblebee male. Any guess or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't really look like any of it's clutch mates. It has bright yellows where most the paradoxing is taking place (other than the extreme white on it's face) and it also looks like it could possibly have one blue eye? Which, could actually be green. It is really hard to tell considering this little guy hasn't shed yet. Either way, it's not leaving our house. (: Thanks for looking in advance!

If I had to guess and only a guess I would say a Butter/Pewter Paradox...odds would be extremely high but has the traits of both. No way to tell unless bred to a normal and see if you get butters, cinnies, pewters ho knows....
Nice snake never the less...I am jealous

Looks like a pewter that lost it's way to me.

Kinda neat - kinda odd - congrats.

I'd guess you had 2males father the clutch- the pewter and butter. I think paradox pastel/black pastel/butter

It is not possible for two males to father one egg.

Holy cow, that's weird! Since two sperm can't fertilize the same egg, it has to only be one of those dads. I would guess paradox pewter. The mom may have even been carrying some gene that affected the pewter??? Who knows. I'd certainly love to know what its offspring look like in the future! Congrats!
