Wondering if anyone could ID this guy

it's not mouth rot. but thanks for you concern (he was eating when i took the pic that part of a mouse) but i check all my snakes & lizards every week to every other week

I know what a Pastel looks like & he is that color it didnt show in the pics, But the part that looks "paradox" is from his head to a bout a 1/3 of his body is a high yellow normal then like 5-6in of the "pastel" yellow the like 1-2in of the normal then like 4-5in of the pastel then 2-3in of normal then the pastel to his tail (even if it's not and i was lied to i dont care he's a great snake but in person looks like no other normal i've seen)

I'll get new pics, but he is starting to shed so the yellow looks like a white yellow, but i'll add pics

But in this pics the red outlines are the "normal" and the green are the bright yellow parts

And about the belly it's white & black, but parts have a li'l yellow to it

its just a really awesome looking normal!! beautiful snake though!!! good find!!

ok sorry about the mouthrod- really looked like it...

on that pic i can understand what u mean its darker in front than its lighter in the middle and again- darker in the end.

looks cool- never seen it- i would still say a very cool normal, but u know that game-

proove it- breed it and breed the kids back- maybe its genetic but maybe it comes from incubation temperature

Ok thanks a lot everyone, normal or not i absolutly love this guy, i plan on breeding him next year to see if it is a trait

i'll still put some new pics after he finishes his shed, but these pics just dont show his great colors

It's a normal. Unless it's a het for a recessive trait, it's a normal.

I don't see how that could be a mouse in the mouth. Unless the mouses stomach opened up on the way down, and that's it's guts in the BPs mouth. Typically when a snake is finishing up a mouse, you'll either see a pink tail, or a head. Whatever is in it's mouth is red.

Not to mention that the neck isn't stretched or anything like it would be if there was a mouse in there...

well what ever it is/was the phoo was right after eating a small rat then they get a pinky rat as a treat, but holding it every day since and looking in its mouth and seeing it yawn that red/brown is not there, there is No swelling, No excess drool, No redness, No loss in appitite (he's my best eater), Or "cottage Cheese" , but looking at the photo again it may be a small peice of mulch (he will not eat in a seperate feeding tub, so dont start in on impaction i stay with him until he is done eating) He is fed on a plate but every now and again he will push the rat off the plate then eat it

i've owned reptiles for the past 18yrs, and to this day i have 3 Argen B&W Tegus, 1 Red Tegu, 3 BP's, 2 Toads, & 1 Cuban Tree frog....so i'm not a noob to this & if i say it's not there & it's Not MR then please take my word and drop it

But again thank you all for your concern about my animals, i love that total strangers care about animals they have never met (i really do mean that i'm not trying to be a smarty-pants)
