    Disclaimer: I am still new when it comes to morphs/morph ID, but...
    I have a vanilla and see a lot of the same blushing, head stamp looks similar, etc...but much more yellow in yours due to the pastel. I read somewhere that vanillas have an identifying "moustache". My boy has what kinda looks like a moustache, meaning some brown markings around his mouth where a moustache would be. Honestly not sure if there's any truth to that, but maybe somebody with more experience can educate us both...

    Beautiful snake any which way.

    I have a question - when I type the pairing into WOBP or OWALs site, a Pastel is not a possible outcome. How come?

    I think I just answered my question - the Fire and Vanilla are allelic so one of them has to be passed on. So if that was in deed the pairing, the animal cannot be just Pastel

    You're right. I hadn't considered that. So then it must be pastel vanilla since it doesn't look bright enough to be a firefly to me.

    Ding ding, the point goes to gator. Now if you can tell vanilla or fire you are the man. I can't.

    Have you ever heard of the moustache thing I mentioned above? I only saw it in one place, so I don't know how much truth there is in it, but since my vanilla boy appears to have a "moustache" I haven't ruled it out.

    I don't know enough about them to help the OP. I don't have anything from that complex in my collection other than fire. I remember hearing something about a moustache just not on what morph. I have Kevin's latest book so I will check it out tonight after I get done dealing with my babies that decided to start coming out today. This is a 3 gene clutch with possible supers so I may have some "what the heck is this" moments myself today.

    You may be right on vanilla. It is a lot easier to develop an eye for a morph if you actually have it in your collection.
