    Is he just a lesser pastel?
    Hi guys, so ever since I got noodle, I’ve been wondering if he’s a lesser pastel or something else... I love the little guy to death he’s my favorite reptile so far and he’s a great eater, just like his dad, anyways he recently shed (second time with me) it was a perfect one thank god and I got a couple pictures of him and maybe someone here would be able to help me to double check if he’s a lesser pastel or if there’s anything else with him like a super something

    I'd call lesser pastel with chance of ghost. Do you still have the shed?

    I'd second the Ghost idea.

    Let me start off by saying that is a beautiful snake you have there! Congrats!
    As for it being just lesser pastel, I would say with almost 100% certainty that it is NOT just lesser pastel. Figuring out what else it has will be very difficult if not impossible without breeding. What was it sold as and from who? If that info is not available then it’s a guessing game until you can prove it out through breeding. The shed can give you a better guess on if it’s ghost or not. I don’t personally work with ghost but I believe it is something like, if you can see the pattern in the shed it is not ghost because ghost shedding is completely clear. Someone else may need to correct me if that’s incorrect, I’m just going off what I remember reading.

    Either way, that is a beautiful snake and I’m surprised something at that level is not sold correctly because most breeders will know their animals especially when breeding high end recessive morphs because it would be a large price difference having a visual ghost vs just a lesser pastel.

    I'm seeing banana. What was the pairing (since you mentioned his dad, I assume you bred this baby?)

    Re: Is he just a lesser pastel?
    I’m sorry, I was mentioning his dad as me lol, and yea he was sold to me as a lesser pastel from a reptile store here in Southern California, I wouldn’t know who the parents are, to me I am the parent, anyways I appreciate all the comments I love my little one but yeah I had the suspicion that he wasn’t just a lesser pastel, maybe I got lucky because I just paid 125$ for him and I fell in love when I saw him so it was a no brainer, thank you for all the help! Hopefully someone here will know :)

    reviewing more photos, I do see why people are saying hypo as well. Any chance you can contact the store and try to get more info?
    very pretty snake
