    How do you tell the difference?

    How do you tell the difference between a BEL and a Pastel BEL?

    You really do not, UNLESS it is a Super Mojo BEL, then the head stamp will be lighter or gone.

    With Pastel Potion BELs, they will be lighter.

    OR, you breed it and get Pastels.

    Can you use a black light to see a pattern?

    Pastel will not change the almost nil underlying pattern of a BEL. I have posted black light pics of my Lesser Mojo BEL and all that shows up is a dorsal stripe and eye stripes. I do not see the pastel gene changing this.

    The only way to be sure is to prove it out. I have a Black eyed lucy poss. yellowbelly. The only why that I will know for sure is to breed her and see if I get any yellowbelly's. I'm sure keeping my fingers crossed....

    Or how would i sell a snake and not even be sure of the genetic makeup? How would you price that even cause a BEL and BEL with the pastel gene would alot different in price

    It is difficult to make that decision. I paid a bit more than you would for a black eyed lucy, but not much. If it proves out she will be worth a lot more, but it is a risk. Just like buying a poss het. ball python.

    I will have this issue with any Karma Balls from my Lesser Mojo BEL to Pastel Phantom.

    In this case, I would list it as a Karma poss Pastel.
