Is my BP a normal?

I wanted to know if my ball python is a normal. I got her from a petsmart (bad idea I know) and they knew nothing about her! Thankfully she's healthy. I've had people show me their pastels and she looks exactly like them but slightly duller. I didn't know who to ask and I don't trust the petstore I got her from. Her sides are a very bright yellow/orange. Clear belly and some alien patterns (can't see them in the pic) https://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...c5b8/imagejpeg this is a pic of her from up above so you can't see her sides too much https://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...b9d5/imagejpeg I was just curious since the normals I see don't have much blushing or any yellow/orange. I love her either way and I can take more pictures if you need them

More pics would be appreciated but if you are talking about the one in your avatar, looks to be pastel.

Not all pet stores are bad. I work at a big box store. I always take care of my snakes and treat them well. Most employees don't but some people do know about snakes at a box store. And I always educate the buyer about each snakes habits so they are better prepared. I'm glad you took her home! Ya sneks!

I cant see her pics. But your avatar looks like a normal to me.

Here are some more pics! (Sorry I couldn't get better ones! She likes to move around a lot when she's out) https://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...f8fe/imagejpeghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...8f87/imagejpeghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...1750/imagejpeghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/webk...6438/imagejpeghopefully these are a little more helpful! I just thought she was awfully yellow for a normal and her patterns looked different. Plus a lot more blushing. I may be looking into this a bit too much but it's just something I noticed quite a bit and was always curious about. Then the pet store knew nothing about her so I decided there would be no harm in asking you guys here and seeing what you guys thought. I also know most pastels have green eyes but she wouldn't stay still long enough for me to take a good picture of them
