Good Examples of Adult Pastels

I have an opportunity to pick up an adult proven Pastel. There are two to choose from one being lighter than the other. I hear alot about Pastels browning out with age and so I assume they all do to some extent. Can anyone post pictures of what is considered good coloration for an adult pastel (1400+ gm)? If you have comparative pictures of a good example and an (OK or Meh) example that you can post side by side, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks

Here is my girl, Amber. Here she is at 2000g.

I dont have a pic of her with another pastel, but here is her with a spotnose.

This girl has really held her colors well in my opinion. Closing in on 2000 grams, she's a 2008 hatch.

You should post pics of the two you are considering buying and let the experts on this board give their opinions. We are lucky to have some extremely intelligent and experienced people on the board. I'm sure they an tell you which one is best.

These are not my photos.

They couldn't get #1 to unball for the photo. I am leaning towards #2 but just haven't seen enough adults to know which is preffered with regard to coloration.

My pride and joy. 1300g and growing. She is so white not yellow, and keeps getting lighter with every shed. Her contrast is amazing and her blushing is insane. Cannot wait to breed this girl.


Please excuse any errors sent from my crap phone.

I'd ask for a picture of them side by side. The 2nd shot looks like it has a bit more exposure than the first which would cause the snake to appear lighter. Natural sunlight pictures with no flash really help when showing true colors on a snake.
