Getting my new snake and being confused on if its a morph or not ive been wondering. What exacty males a pastel? How do u know its a true pastel? The way u can tell a true albino and a true hypo..what are the characteristics of a true pastel? Coloration doesnt really work cuase aparently u can have a very yellow norml and its not a pastel. So yeah i wanted to know

yeah, yours is just a nice reduced pattern normal, the pastels are like a light light light yellow, not the goldish brown

i dont buy from shops anymore... lol

i was in one not to long ago, and they tried to pass off a reduced bp as a spider type ball... i was like uh, no, this is a normal...

they argued.
i argued.
they argued more
i showed them my phone background of a spider and a pin...

they stoped arguing...
lol
