Without knowing the genetic heritage of the parents there is no way of telling what morphs they can produce, however some phases can only be produced by certain phases, for example a true corn morph like a miami cannot be produced by breeding an anery with an amel, i think  Genetics are a bit confusing for me,. even if all the babies came out normal looking they could be het. for something, but again without knowing the genetic heritage it would be impossible to work it out!
Ken, good luck with the eggs - how long left til they are due to hatch??? Mum and dad are looking beautiful, they are real stunners! How old/big are they? Very pretty.. hehe watch it I think I can see the male trying to get busy with Mum again

Great looking parents ken, and great pics I am too looking forward to see your new gorgeous little babies.
I have read that the fading of the black saddle rings is the effects of hypomelanism...

Great stuff Ken, getting to the exciting time then eh!!  Lots of babies for you to serve
Mum's pretty big! How many eggs did she have? Our three adult females are coming up to 3 yrs of age and are around 3.5-4ft long at a rough estimate. Our male is the same age, but probably a tad longer,.
The darker black outline around the saddles are typical of oaketee phase, while the lighter outline is more typical of a normal, although it is my understanding that they are pretty much the same phase.
Good luck Ken - I hope the eggs all hatch well for you, it's an amazing experience to see them popping their heads into the world for the first time
