Now onto the good stuff. This weekend, after researching balls for about a year now, I finally picked up my first ball(s). I ended up with 2...although I originally only planned on one, the more the merrier! One of them is a pastel, of that I am sure, however this second one has me stumped It was sold to me as a female woma, and I am fairly certain it is not a woma. It could be a normal, or an enchi or...well that is why I am asking! Here are some pics!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Idk I'm not really seeing normal here...I'd say the best way to know is grow him up and prove him out. I've never really seen a "wild type" pattern like that...it just jumps out and screams something else to me.

Those were my thoughts exactly! It really doesnt look like a normal to me (although I have a very UN-trained eye). It looks to have more color differences and has that "wild type" pattern that you describe.
EDIT: I will post some pics of the pastel tonight when she wakes up!

Normals vary alot to the point of making thoses beginners/unexpierenced think hey have something special when they dont.
its just a normal nothing more nothing less.

dorsal coloring is interesting, pattern is pretty normal while I do think it is cool. See how she develops. I'm going with just a normal for now.

I think it's a good looking normal with a somewhat unique pattern. There appear to be some normal "alien head" markings along with some interesting looking banding. It's hard to see a lot of the pattern with the positions of the snake. Definitely a nice pickup to get this and a pastel for $100. I'm with dr del though, pics of the pastel please?

Thats pretty funny
But being serious, Just on a hunch and strictly a hunch I bet your pastel isnt even a pastel. Why? Because you got sold a "woma" that was a normal lol

I guess I dont get why that is funny??
Lol, I knew when I bought it that it wasnt a woma, but I loved the pattern, reminded me of a tiger ball. Plus I liked the alien head on the back! The pastel may not be a pastel, it doesnt have a ton of blushing, but defiantly has a lot of orange to her, I am fairly confident she is not normal at least!

I hope for your sake she is not a normal since you paid $100 for both. My normal has a lot of blushing too and especially right after he sheds he has an "orange glow" to him....but he's just a normal. As for the other one, if nothing else he has an AWESOME pattern and can probably make some really pretty babies. I'd buy one

How do you know when your snake is awake? When its moving? I hardly EVER see my snakes move... So they sleep for like 2-3 days straight?

Even if you did get two normals for $100, you're still saving money over Petco or PetSmart prices... But post the pastel pics and you'll get the answers here for sure...
