    I take care of my entire collection every day, and still quarantine new additions. It just takes the discipline to wash hands between animals, house them in different areas, used seperate tools, and not set them directly on top of each other to get a photo opp. For their sake, I hope there aren't any problems.

    I hate to say it, they look like a regular black to me. Only a slightly redder tinge than my normal/other normal. Maybe im just awful at identifying pastels :confused:

    Youre right. I know better than that. It was irresponsible.. I just got excited. Im still new to the snake culture, and havent had my first clutch yet. Rookie mistake. Ill do better

    No time like the present to start. I really wish you the best with her, and especially that she gets confirmed to be a "her." She has some really nice light coloring. :gj:

    Thanks = P. Like I said, I wont be too upset if im wrong on one or both counts. I wouldnt mind terribly having to buy a pastel female I know to be so. Once I learn to probe Ill know for sure, and if it is female, if I pair her with a bumblebee Ill know for sure. If I get any normals from that clutch I can be positive shes normal and if I manage to get a bumblebee killer bee or super pastel Ill know that she is a pastel after all. Im gonna have to prove her out though.

    I see normal as well. However, I think she's a gorgeous normal! Super clean and bright. Better than my normal thats for sure.

    She's a normal, but just for the sake of argument, you CAN get normals from a bumblebee x pastel pairing (1/8), and you can also get bumblebees from a bumblebee x normal pairing (1/4), so neither of those results are indicators in either direction. ;)

    Shes a normal. Pastels have green eyes too so if she has black eyes then shes not a pastel. Next time if youre interested in a snake my suggestion would be post pics before you buy to get some expert opinions on here. Regardless at least you didnt pay $249.99 for her ;)
