He's my pet so the browning didn't bother me - I think it makes him look more mature :gj:
I think (and may be wrong...) that you can tell if/how much a pastel will brown by looking at the shading of the scales. Orange scales or scales that aren't clear bright yellow - will darken to some shade of brown. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong since I don't know much and would like to know if it's true ;)

My boy is a juvie (about 500 grams) but i thought i'd post a pic anyway :)
awesome guys! what's the difference between a lemon and regular pastel?
Lemon is just the NERD line of pastels, there is no difference other than the name.

Re: Adult Pastels
actualy i think if i was keeping a pastel as a pet it would make me :mad: if it browned out, but not as a breeder because the look dosent count to me, its the genetics. But then again i hate referring to balls as just breeders and not pets because all of my ball pythons that i breed are also my pets

It should matter even MORE to you as a breeder. Why would you want to pass on the genetics for a browned out pastel? Breed quality and you'll produce quality. Breed crap and you'll just be producing more crap.
