Need your opinion, is this pastel?

Found someone selling these two...trying to pass them both off as pastel. Now granted, they've been posting this ad for a while...originally one was listed as Pastel and one as Normal "het for Pastel". :colbert: Then they were listed as pastel and normal...now they're listing both as pastels. Crazyness.

So, just for kicks...what say you. Obviously the one on the left is pastel...what of the one on the right? I know they can brown out as they get older, and this boy is about 2000g...but really...

certainly looks like a pastel and a normal to me.

Yea.. looks like small pastel next to big normal to me...
LOL always amuse me when people try sel hets for pastel, spiders ect :rolleyes:

It looks like a normal to me as well. There are small spots of blushing along the back, but the head is dark. Can you post a pic of his belly? Is it clear?

It says "There are many more variations of Pastels, but they all follow the same rules.

1. Faded Head
2. Green eyes
3. Pastel Coloration
4. Clean stomachs
5. Most animals have some degree of blushing (some lines do lack blushing)

Lol, that's actually pretty funny. Totally normal of course, but...XD whoever's trying to sell them is getting progressively more desperate, apparently! (And progressively more shameless.)

LOL... I agree with the others, it looks like a normal to me! He is pretty, but obviously not worth the price of a pastel - and if he's het, I would expect some documentation to prove it. Is there really a point in buying a "het pastel" anyway, considering you can get a visual one for like $100-150?? :hmm:

Because a pastel is a visual het. Pastel is technically the visual het for super pastel.
