The "sire and dam" or ma and pa balls were a male Lesser Pewter het albino and female visual Albino. Clutch mates of my female to my knowledge were a lesser pewter albino male possible worlds first?! not sure, a male pewter albino, my female "something" , and a male Sterling. Ill post pictures of daughter 1st then mom and dad and tell me what you think.

Looks like a regular ol' Pewter to me ... I see no lesser in that snake ... Also the "sterling lesser male" sibling you posted a picture of ....... There's no way to get sterling anything with this pairing as there is only one pastel gene .. so if this breeder was serious about the sterling lesser thing, it throws a red flag up for me, but this is going off the info you provided in your post which is slightly confusing and contradicting .... with the information you have provided, along with the confusion of a sterling in this clutch from that pairing, unless you are 100% sure the dam was an albino ... I say you have a Pewter possible Het. Albino

I just see lesser, but i might be wrong. I actually just got my pastel lesser and i love it!

I still see Lesser... my question is, if you don't see the Pastel in it, why purchase it?

In the picture from the breeder he looked like he had pastel in him, I did see another classified of a pastel lesser that looked EXACTLY like him. So I don't I will wait and see I suppose either way he is gorgeous and has a great personality.

This is my pastel lesser for an example. Pastel would have more of a yellow appearance I believe. [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...psbcw8orvj.jpg[/IMG]

Its a regular lesser. The easiest way is to look at the head, and yours screams lesser. Heres the only comparison pic I have (you can see the obvious blushing difference):

Left - Super Pastel Lesser
Middle - Lesser
Right - Pastel Lesser
