Been a while since his last shed so his colors are a little dulled up. I don't know how he rates as it pertains to other pastels but I absolutely love my little guys colors. :)

So I purchased my BP as a Pastel but I've been looking at what people are indicating as Het. Indicators. I still am not versed in spotting any of these and I was curious if anyone could tell me if my BP is Het. for anything. Would love to know if he/she is a dinker for if I ever get to breed as I hope to in the future. Thanks in advance. :)

Well, for the most part, you bought yours as a morph from a breeder. Therefore you should know what the parents are, and the breeder should know who their parents are. Which would mean you could know any possible het it has.
This is not always the case though, I do have a female that I don't know the lineage and she has some DEFINITE markers (of a co-dom gene). But it can't be confirmed until breeding.
I'm not good at het markers, whatsoever. To me, there are too many variences in all morps/normals. There are a couple that have some pretty big markers. But hets to me are too sketchy to really know besides those.
Some people will chime in if they see any markers. I'm not Trying to be pessimistic but just stating reality as I see it

Beautiful snake btw =)

Thank you. I don't expect to find anything but there are so many people on her with a plethora more knowledge pertaining to the hobby then myself. The reason I do not know anything about my BP's lineage is because he is what I consider a rescue of sorts. I bought him from petco when I saw him rail thin and in a bad shed. He was the only pastel in a 12x12x12 tiny display case with 3 other BP's which where all Mojave's. when I told one of the sales associates that the little runt of a BP wasn't looking to good she said that oh that's just because he's in shed and she planned on "peeling him later"....! Although I really wanted to buy directory through a reputable breeder I couldn't leave my little guy to be peeled like a banana and stressed to death so I brought him home. So that's why I'm unclear on his lineage. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is what he looked like after day after I got him to feed for the first time. Had to let him settle in a couple days before I messed with him at all.

It looks like you got him out of a bad situation and he looks very good now!
I completely understand not knowing the lineage, I was just trying to name the possibilities (because either I missed the details or they weren't stated).
Personally I'm seeing a normal pastel. But don't take that to heart, I have only been into BP morphs for a few years (and only strongly within the last year and a half). With unknown parents there could be anything in there, it's just a small chance

Thor was cruising last night. :)

I got a new camera recently and I've been snapping pics every so often of Thor but I have yet to upload any of them. I'm still figuring the camera out but I thought I would share anyways.

I changed up Thor's setup. Decided to drop in a little lagoon and waterfall.
Took a couple pics!
