Oh no, not another is this a YB post ;)

So this female was a rescue. I got her from the dad of the kid that wasnt taking good care of her, she was about 600g when I got her and her length and head size says she should have been 1500g +! She was soooo skinny! We got her 2 months ago and have been taking very good care of her. She has gained weght nicely and completely recovered! She was sooo malnourished that she was pale and I just figured she was a browned pastel. However, since she has been getting good nutrition and proper husbandry she has really got her color back! She has this amazing yellow upper lip that looks like someone took a yellow highlighter to it. We were weighing her and what not and noticed she does have some speckling along side her belly so I figured I would throw up a few pics and let the experts on YB chime in. I realize that if she is one, it would be one of those subtle YBs. She has the best temperament (like she knows we saved her), and is just getting more and more vibrant with every shed. What do you guys/gals think?

Shes so adorable! but I dont see yb if anything none of the pictures show yb but the third looks close I suppose but Im voting on normal thats great you got her weight up that much! Shes looking good :)

The color is a little off on here, she is much lighter than any of my normals with a granity speckling on her bright yellow sides. Belly is clean with that black speckling down the sides of the belly. And she has the brightest yellow "mustache", like neon yellow (last pic). Her "brown" color in these photos is more like a kahki color in real life, very light. I will eventually breed her if I feel comfortable that she has completely recovered from being so skinny and what not...

Looks like a really browned out Pastel to me

Whatever she is, she's a nice looking snake. That was one dumb kid to do that to such a great animal. :gj: to the dad for doing something about it.

Yea, browned pastel is what I was thinking, allthough like i said she gets lighter with every shed. As her nourishment continues, ya know? I love the yellow lipstick and I havent really seen too many snakes with that bright of color on their lip like that, maybe it will prove to be genetic :gj:

Definitely a browned out Pastel.

Do normals usually have dot mustaches? Like a yellow dot on each side of the tounge hole? Mine does and she also has a spot and blushing on the top of her head.:confused:

Pastel for sure. I knew just by the first pic alone. Shes beautiful!

If you get too busy for her,i still have two open slots in my rack. ;):D Just sayin
