So this is pretty much why you shouldn’t look to breed animals you don’t have a history on.
I’m wondering if maybe your Blue Eyed Lucy is actually something different. The odds in the animals you posted seem very skewed…which can be possible, but are a low chance of just a single BEL offspring here. But I think I’m seeing more yellow belly than a BEL gene in some of these offspring.
It would probably be best for you to run a shed test on the BEL to see what he really is. There could be something surprising like pastel Ivory mystic going on.

That first baby is super wonky looking, I would guess it has something outside of the listing genes of the mom and bel complex.

Those babies are so pretty! At first glance before I read the post I thought for a moment that baby # one was a carpet python because of the pattern and color!
Edit to add: But I’m not the brightest bulb in the chandelier!

Definitely reccomend shed testing the sire. That 1st baby doesn’t resemble anything the pairing should produce. The dame also looks really faded for just a Pastel Clown, its the thing that stood out to me more than anything else in the post so a shed test for the dame may be a necessity too, my thought is that she is possibly a Super Pastel Clown.
I’m having a hard time discerning if the 2nd baby is Lesser but it definitely looks Pastel.
The 3rd baby looks Lesser, maybe Pastel.
@armiyana in @crystalc71’s other ID post they show a BEL offspring that has the same sire as this clutch (I’m thinking its a Super Lesser) and another baby that resembles a Russo. I think the BEL sire may be a Lesser Russo and that the Dam’s genes are whats causing the funky baby in the first photo.
