Confusing clutch???

I bred a my male snow with my female anery. Neither of which were nowing to be het for anything. In the cltuch I got 5 anerys, 5 that look normal but have very deep red. Their red is much deeper then anything I've seen on a hatchling so far. The most confusing this yet is there are I think are two ghost.
So where did the red come from? And who's het for what to have produced ghost like that?
Thanks,
Trevor

Where did the normals come from? How do you get red pigment from a snow and an anery? The pairings were 1st, snow and anery, 2nd normal and anery, 3rd snow and anery, 4th snow and anery. Could the one pairing with the normal have fertilized a few eggs causing them to be normal and the rest of the eggs been fertalized by the snow?
Cheers,

You bred the female with two males? That is most likely what happened the normal fertilized the eggs of the normals. The snow and anery are most likely het for hypo.
 
Yup, that's the only thing that makes sense. The normal is the father of the normals and the snow and anery are both het for hypo and that's how I got the ghosts.

Is one of those babies the "red" normal? If so, then it doesn't look like any normal I have ever seen. Does it have any black on it? If so, then is it hypo, too? I think it would be kind of strange if all 3 of the adult snakes ended up being het hypo. I think it would actually be unlikely...
 
In that pic there is just the two ghost and an anery. The normal male is almost sure to be not het for anything.
Here is a pic of what the normals in the clutch look like.

OK...

I was just wondering. I thought that would be too much of a coincidence for the normal to be het hypo also. I really like that red looking ghost. It's quite unusual looking.
 
Here are some updated pics
