Need Help... Potential Trade

I have a male pastel that I had up for sale. I have a guy interested in trading him for a black pastel female. Awesome right? Except... I suspect his "black pastel" is really a normal. Anyone care to advise me on this?http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ackPastel.jpeg

Not a terribly good example of anything, imo. She's not very big, is she? That brownout line leads me to believe she could be a VERY low quality "brown pastel" aka a crappy quality example of the classic pastel morph. Pass.

A brown Pastel is not a Black Pastel. :P

I gotta agree that looks like a very browned out normal pastel.

Thank you guys! I feel the same way. She's only 200 grams too, so for her to be that brown already is a little scary.

This is my pastel male that I would potentially be trading. He's 311 grams, before his meal yesterday.

Sorry for the grainy phone pic. He never stops moving.

the dark areas within the alien heads would definitively be a trait i would look for in a black pastel

That's what I thought. I was comparing pictures online and it just didn't add up. I'm going to pass on it. He seemed really sketchy. He was texting me telling me he had a female ready to breed and wanted to buy him to put with her. He also said he has over 100 snakes. The first thing I said to my boyfriend about it was, "He's full of crap. No breeder buys a male pastel. Especially when he supposedly has over 100 snakes." He wanted me to lower the price on him and when I said no, but that I'd trade him for a female, he offered his "black pastel" baby. Ugh. I called him out on it. He hasn't responded lol.

Honestly I'm laughing at the person who contacted you. A lot. Keep your guy until you get an offer that's worth something. That girl will do your breeding plans no good at all.
