I just couldn't wait for hatching season (new Pastel) (DUW warning)

I'm not the sort of person who makes impulse purchases. Not at all. I weigh every choice and do tons of research before settling on what I want. Even with things that aren't alive, I take my time. Well, I knew I wanted a male Pastel to start my plunge into the wonderful world of morphs. And I figured I would wait until the hatching season this year so I could have 'the pick of the litter' as they say. I had been browsing this forum looking at pictures and reading up on what makes a nice Pastel. Through my searches I some how landed on the web site for Ballroom Pythons. As usual a visit to the available page is a must for someone as nosey as me, and that's when I saw this little man;

The pictures don't do him any justice at all. He's much brighter gold than what it shows. I guess I need a different background..?:confused: I'll try again soon after he settles in to capture his true colors.

Anyway, after talking to Tim ( I couldn't be more pleased with his customer service) and getting a shipping date set I had nothing to do but get excited and wait. I had been waiting all morning (FedEx should have realized I was excited and wanted my snake NOW :P ) the lovely box finally came to my door. When I opened the box I first saw little Pastel and when I picked his tub up to get a closer look I found this!

There was a lovely tag on her tub that said,"Happy Birthday, I hope you like her." Not only did I get a gift, I got a female! I couldn't be more pleased.

Here's a few of them together;

How nice is that?!?! :sunny: Congrats!! They're both beautiful!

way cool!

They look gorgeous :) Happy birthday!

Thanks everyone. :) I'm just so proud of my new babies. :D My birthday isn't until Feb. 20th, but I love early birthday gifts. :D

What do y'all think of the Pastel? I think he'll be a fine adult and boyfriend for Lily and the new girl.

I think you have a good eye for the pastels - that's a great looking pastel! And the girl is pretty hot too! What a nice gift!!:D

He looks like a very nice Pastel :) And you've already got a new future girlfriend for him.. cool!

They are both nice looking :gj:

Ok, I sifted through all the pictures I took and the bit of him that's closer to the camera is pretty close to the colors I see in real life. :)
