Hello everyone, I am hoping for some help with morph id’s for my recent clutch if possible please?
The first one in particular has a weird pattern (the final 3 photos are also of this animal)
The pairing was orange dream, sugar, clown x clown.
Any help would be great please👍

Do you have photos of the parents? It looks like there might be something else going on.
Was the female bred previously or ever with another male this season?

Hi thanks for the reply, I bought them as a proven breeding pair from an experienced breeder who had had a previous clutch from them. I asked him what he thought as he has been breeding for years but he said it did look weird, like there was something else happening. He hadn’t put any other males with her, and I haven’t either. I will have a look for the photos from the advert.
Here they are-

#1 looks like a Clown, low expression Sugar but thats entirely a guess by me and even then I do still believe there’s something else going on here.
I guess its time for you to have some shed-testing done
Given that you have the parent’s info as well as the breeder’s word and still have this little anomaly. Just out of curiosity and accidents can occur, do you have any other males/females that somehow could have gotten into the mix?

Hi, thanks again. I do have other males but everything is houses separately and only I have anything to do with the snakes so would say it’s basically impossible for any sneaky matings to have taken place. Good shout on the testing, I’ll look into it. I’ll definitely hold the little odd ball back and see what he grows into
