    Identifying Pastel Lessers

    I have a confession to make...Most times I honestly cannot tell the differance between most Lessers and Lesser Pastels

    Which do you guys think this girl is?

    lol it's not a quiz, the guy who bred her says she is a Lesser Pastel but I honestly can't see the difference between the Lesser and the Lesser Pastel.

    Does anyone know is there a definitive way to tell the difference? Higher yellow or extra blushing maybe?

    She either looks like a very high quality lesser, or a lesser pastel. It's much easier to see as hatchlings.

    Green eyes and faded flames near the belly look Pastel Lesser to me.

    Re: Identifying Pastel Lessers

    ill post picture of my lessers when i get home,

    but I have a lesser with more blushing than that or atleast just as much, also one of my babies is getting some pretty high blushing. thats part of the lesser gene, not just the pastel. I don't see anything pastel, the snake isn't the slightest bit yellow to hint at it. if it is a pastel lesser, its a pretty bad example of one IMO. some my guess would be just a high quality lesser.
