Unexpected Hatch

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to the world of corns and just had my first hatch. I have what was sold to me as a pair of Anery Lavenders. 12 eggs and 67 days later, 100% hatch. Pretty pumped about it. What I was not expecting was the little squirmers were not all anery. I am still working on being able to identify the difference with some of the morphs so I figured if I post a couple pics somebody here might be able to better tell me what I am working with. First 2 are the father. Second two are the mother and then a couple of the hatchlings.

I'm going to guess dad is a Ghost het Amel and mom is a Charcoal het Amel Hypo. Babies are Normals, Hypos and an Amel.

Male:Ghost (Anery,Hypo) het Amel
Female:Charcoal het Amel, Hypo
Phenotype:
1 / 8 Amel het Anery, Charcoal, Hypo
3 / 8 Normal het Anery, Charcoal, Hypo 66% poss het. Amel
3 / 8 Hypo het Anery, Charcoal 66% poss het. Amel
1 / 8 Hypo Amel (Amel,Hypo) het Anery, Charcoal
 
Neither of those animals are moonstones (anery lavenders). Dad is as anery as anery can get. Mom may be a very dirty charcoal OR she was bred to another male last year and this was a retained-sperm clutch.
 
Sorry that should have been anery het lavender. I was told neither had been bred before and this was their first pairing. I thought the female was a little under weight to be bred yet but the guy had them together and they were actually locked when I first went to purchase them.
 
I'll be that the female locked with another male this year, then. All the offspring should have been at least aneries if both *those* snakes were the parents.
 
Based on the photos I'd say that until you breed them next year (assuming you do) it seems, as Shaiari said, more likely that the female was bred to another male first and has produced his offspring.
The only other conclusion is that the female is Charcoal and not Anery A, but she really looks anery a to me. I'd pretty much refuse to believe the male is anything but Anery A.
 
I'm betting the female is a charcoal. I can't wait to see what they produce next year!
 
Thanks for your replies everybody. I will most definitely be breeding again next year. So we will have to see what I get then. I have a few other corn projects in mind as well. I have been working with ball pythons for a few years now and just started into corns corns this year. I have to say trying to follow the genetics with corns is more involved than with BPs.
