They are both girls. But the pastel from marcy's litter looks very different from my other clutch. In fact she is an exact clone of her father, a bit darker than the others. I am beginning to wonder if my female albino isn't actually pastel also.Slim chances, of course.... but not impossible. She's a young snake. I mean my whole reason for owning her in the first place is because she has more orange and yellow concentration than any other albino I have ever seen... and the spots on her that would normally be black are much more crisply outlined.... My reason for wondering if she is actually pastel also is because all of the other pictures of pastel babies I have seen look like the female that was born today. I haven't seen any others like my brighter ones, but I have heard from a guy who breeds these things (he is actually the guy I got my male from) that he believes there is a super form, he emailed me and told me that the supers have extremely light heads and an even brighter coloration. I will have to talk to him about this and see what he thinks. The real problem is that a camera does not capture one vital thing.... the GLOW of a snake... any snake! So I can't even make accurate comparisons with pictures. The albino pastel female that was born today also is not nearly as contrasted/vibrant as the male.

Either way, I definitely need to hold some of these animals back and figure out what the heck is going on here. I think that I need to hold back one of my possible "super" males and breed him to a normal female that is long term captive (which I have!). If I get all pastel's from that breeding, that will be a big help as to determining the exact way that this gene plays out. Is it incomplete dominant, like the pastel ball python? Or is it dominant, and simply has large amounts of variation between animals of the same morph, but no true super form? Maybe selective breeding for brighter pastels yields brighter babies and i got really lucky to get them so early on. Only time will tell.
