That looks like black pastel to me. I mean, low quality, just being honest. But it definetly looks black pastel.

I'm still quite happy with it, it's unlike any normal I've ever seen with how busy the pattern is and how much flaming and blushing its got. Should produce some nice babies for me nonetheless!
Black pastels are knowns for having nice, even dark heads, not head spots. Also every cinny/black pastel Ive seen had a 100% clear or very nearly clear belly. Not enough line sqigglies in the the alien head. The color is a bit off....really I dont see anything that says black pastel.

This is my black pastel that I picked up a few days ago. Her belly is not totally clear either.
That's not a black pastel, sorry. I have two of them, and I just hatched a cinnamon. Black pastels are very distinct. The black spots basically have to fill the the brown areas completely, with or with out the additional black highlight around the edge.
The original snake does have some interesting flecking on the sides, though. Very granite-y. It does look a bit like a sable.

Was that an app you created those circles with? If so, which one?

I am by no means an expert, but all I see is normal.

Yes it was from a breeder. And everything I have seen it looks exactly like a black pastel.

Well if you think it looks like a black pastel then it is a black pastel, its a good looking snake and honestly it looks like a low grade black pastel. Breed it and you'll know for sure.
