head fade is a pastel trait?

Completely normal, nothing special at all from what I see.
Sorry to say, but a lot of normals look neat, and discoloration of patches of scales is often not genetic.

Yeah hes right unfortunately...

Some do, some don't. Its usually a pretty drastic thing, but even then it doesn't mean anything. Almost has some calico action going up the sides lol

NOT a pastel for sure.
I wonder why a lot of 'normal' owners aren't ever happy with just owning a normal and need to 'upgrade' it?
What makes normals so neat is the HUGE amount of variation in colour and pattern.

I agree - Normals rock! I've seen coloration like that happen through sheds - some maintain that it may be a nutritional deficit of some sort.

Have you had this animal its entire life?

The only way to "prove" that it's more than a normal is to breed it and see if you can reproduce the look. But it's not a pastel by any stretch of the imagination.

When in doubt, eye colour. Yours looks like a very cool normal.

I hear you. I adore my little normal gal, she's LOVELY, super great awesome markings. :) She looks at once like the most common of normals yet she's different from them all...unique and the same the way snowflakes are. If that makes sense? ;)

What does eye color prove? I've got normals that have green eyes. There's more than just head fade or eye color that makes a pastel a pastel.

AMEN people need to stop looking for stuff that isnt there just so they can say they have something other than a normal. (not particularly directed at the op, just in general. theres waaaaay too many threads like that)

Point taken!

to everyone who's posted on my thread.

thank you for your opinoins!!!

i dont think is a pastel, i dont care to upgrade her.

i want someone to prove to me that there are more like her and
what, if any, is going on.

i love my girl no matter what and am not out to prove some kind of hidden gene.

hell if she passes down a color change thing through life thats awesome.

either way i dont care. but i honestly have not seen another normal with such an odd look to em.

if you have show me!!! i want to see because i want to know that its not just big brother telling me im wrong for the sake of feeling bigger.

by the way her eyes are light gray and no i took her in at about 1yr 3 mnths.
