You can start by browsing the species gallery to see whats out there. And im sure people would give you their opinions if you posted pictures of yours.

A "normal" ball python is not like a cornsnake where they all have the same pattern. With ball pythons, a normal can have a busy or reduced pattern, can be lighter or darker gold and any two will look completely different from the next one. That's one of the appeals of these guys.
if you got your royals from anywhere but a breeder who identified them as a particular color or pattern morph, you can pretty much be assured that they are normals with nothing special going on.

I'm by far not an expert, but your babies all look like normals to me as well.

They are all normals. Some morphs tend to be really easy to tell, such as a spider or pinstripe, because of a specific pattern they have. Others are harder to tell, like Fires, Cinnamons, and Yellowbellies. But unless where you got them told you it was a specific morph, most likly it is a normal. They come in varying shades of gold and all different patterns. I've had two sisters, one that looked almost like a pastel and one that looked almost like a cinnamon. Two extremes. Yet they were from the same clutch and normals.

You have a wonderful variety of beautiful normal ball pythons. Another thing to keep in mind is that with all of the co-dominant breeding going on (spiders pastels etc.) and there are normals in those clutches, some new genetics are coming out that look a lot different than the wild phenotype but do not carry any special mutations that reproduce. I have seen some really incredible color and wild jungle type patterns coming from my spider clutches lately but they are truly normal balls. Maybe it is time to include a morph called the "lovely normal" LOL
