Visual difference in photos pastel vers normal
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand the difference between normal and pastel, the problem is that in photos I find depending on the lighting the same snake can naturally look different or I'm just colorblind. I'd like to post a pic the snake I'm holding is same snake same camera two differ places therefore lighting naturally may be different. In the picture of snake being held looks to me like pastel, the next picture she looks as normal as they get. I'm new to ball python morphs and just learning, think I'm color blinde lol.
If anyone has some spare time on their hands would u mind sending pics of normal and pastal together? If I see the snake it makes sense when more yellow is present but when looking online for pastel I just can't see what I should be looking for! Looks pastel to my color blind eye till I travel hours to find out normal. Hopefully I posted correctly.
Thanks for ur time

Re: Visual difference in photos pastel vers normal
The snake pictured (1st pic/post) looks like a normal or the worst case of a browned-out pastel I've ever encountered, lol! If you're not dealing with hatchlings, it can be difficult to tell if it's a pastel or just a very light normal in adults, unless you're dealing with a reputable breeder. Most pastels will brown out as they age, in that the yellows they had as babies will fade or get "muddy" looking. Some will hold their colors into adulthood but not many. I'm not sure that there are any "markers" that really indicate a pastel as an adult...someone else with more experience with them will have to chime in on that front. Sorry couldn't be more help and good luck to you!
