Sold as a Pastel

Hi,

I'm new in the forum though I've been a regular visitor. I've waited until now to register because I've just acquired my first snake, a ball python.

The problem is that it was sold as a Pastel, but I have serious doubts it is one.
Could someone tell me if it really is a pastel or a normal? It is about 40cm long.

Not a Pastel.

looks like a normal to me.

No Pastel. Nice little Normal.

Not a pastel

That is a normal. Where did you get it? I can't believe people would sell a normal as a pastel.

Thanks everyone, unfortunately I was already expecting such feedback..

I didn't buy it, I trade it with a breeder (I'm portuguese, we don't see a lot of BPs around here, other than wc ones and an occasional morph) who actually has a really nice pastel couple, and this one was suppose to be a pastel produced by that couple. I guess he just "forgot" that two pastels can also produce normals.

Forgot? Is he blind?

Sorry for your luck. I don't think he "forgot". If you own a Pastel...You know what a Pastel looks like.
