morph or normals?

hello! i wounder if the lighter colored of my two snakes could possibly be a black pastell? i guess the browner are a normal,but when i compared the other one with the pictures from the morph threads, i found that she looked an awful lot like a black pastell. what do you guys think?

Welcome to BP.net :colbert2:

They are both normals

Both normals, Black Pastels are not lighter but darker ;)

Black Pastel for comparison (Both black pastels BTW)

okay,thanks for the quick answer! haha,this forum is a whole lot faster at responding than the swedish ones :P i really dont see any difference in the colors, but i guess i have an untrained eye :)

It's not as much the colors (they're just a bit on the dark side) as the pattern. You'll notice that the black pastels have the really wonky alien heads.

aha okay, mine have those too,but not as many :) thanks anyway! i bought my ladies for about a month ago,and i've never kept reptiles before,but i've really fallen in love with them, and they eat and shed perfectly :)

Actually, it's the black squiggles around each alien head that is the dead giveaway of Black Pastel.

Look very carefully at the snakes Derek posted. Notice that each light marking has a dark center like yours do, BUT they also have a dark squiggly line inside the light part that yours do not have.

See how these snakes have the squiggles ? That is the trademark for Black Pastels.
