Bear with me, I'm still trying to figure out how to insert pictures, lol!

So, I got my first BP, Persephone, as a birthday present from my husband. He got her at a local pet store that sold her as just a normal BP (which now after having a REAL normal BP, I can see the difference). My vet was the first one to say something...she said Persephone is a pastel and that I was lucky getting her at a normal BP price. Figured the store got the wrong shipment from the breeder. So, awesome, I have a pastel!

Then one of my students, who was a reptile enthusiast, made a comment about Persephone during a class where I was talking about snakes in belly dance. Said she was a yellow-leaf pastel and they go for around $1500. The problem is, I haven't found any record of a yellow-leaf pastel out there.

I have no intentions of breeding her (at least not at this moment), but it's more of a curiosity thing at this point (and I don't want to sound like an idiot calling her something that doesn't exist). I find as I add on snakes and get more into BP ownership, I want to know as much as possible about my snakes. At present, I'm just calling her a pastel (as I trust my vet, plus she looks completely different than Kismet, my normal, and resembles pics of other pastels I've seen). But any opinions from the board would be appreciated.
