    My new addition

    OK so she may not be the most amazing pastel out there, but I sort of fell in love with this one (it happens), so here she is:




    I think she's prettier in person than in pics. She kind of has a gold-ish "glow" over most of her body (minus the top) that the camera doesn't pick up. Is that common for pastels?

    Looks like she will be dubbed "Mocha."

    The goldish coloration is what I believe to be the change most pastels go through when they turn from yellow to brown. As long as you like the snake that's all that matters but be prepared for her to brown out considerably.

    I think she's beautiful! Looks very, very similar to my Pastel female. I have to agree with you, pictures don't do them justice. Despite the "browning", they have a very golden glow to them that is just lovely, imo. Great pics and a gorgeous snake, thanks for sharing!

    Nice snake. I am a big fan of blushing in the dark bands and higher contrast snakes.
    Yours has some nice blushing going on and some "pop" from the contrast, I can see why you like her.
