Momma is a little different looking. Looks like dad was a pastel fire because I have fires and pastel fires in the clutch. This girl came out very different though.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Two more pics. Sorry about my photo skills, or lack of.

Do some image searches for "Jungle" and "Classic Jungle" ball pythons. You'll want to look at several pictures because there is a fair amount of variation, but after you see quite a few, you'll get the idea. They seem to be a random occurrence, maybe related to egg stress? People have tried proving them genetic since the early days, but I don't think anybody has. I remember seeing pictures of an Albino one maybe last year or the year before that looked real nice, too. I don't know if that trait might cover up something like a Pastel or Fire or if it would complement it. You would have to breed to find out if there is a Fire or Pastel (or both) hiding in there. Pretty snakes, though!
