Please help identify this morph

My personal opinion with the new pics is that she is a unusual normal. Possibly what we refer to as a "dinker". Those are nasty burn scars, and I'm glad she'll be in a better place.

Most of the people responding may not have read the whole thread, and are responding to the initial posting, which is why it may seem that people are "continueing" to comment on the mesh cage, and such.

She's pretty, but the darkened areas in the undamaged light color pattern make me fairly certain it is not a pastel. It is however unusual, and definitely a curiousity. However.. I'd want to see pics after a good shed, to see if some of that cleans up with less stress and fresh skin.

I beg to differ, it looks like a pastel in shed.

Looks like a Jungle-y Normal

Not trying to discourage you but it really doesn't have any of the markers for a pastel. Every pastel I have ever seen has had a very faded head, or some fading going on in the crown of the head. The above snake has a very dark head.

Here's a photo for your comparison pastel, next to normal.

That's about how this one looks in person. Sorry for my lame photography skills. After BD receives her, and she molts, I'm sure you will be able to see what i see here.

Wonderful photo!

It will be interesting to see her after her shed, but with the current pictures posted, she does not look like a pastel to me.

Doh!

You forgot to get the belly shot and the eye close up - the two pictures hat would have answered the question best of all. :rolleyes:

Those scars tell a sad story of the animals life though. :(

I sure did! I'll try to get a picture after she eats (she's about to take my hand off...).

She just shed, here is a top view picture. I'll take pictures of the belly and eyes a couple of days after she eats.

Thanks again!

she almost looks like a phantom goblin. Not sure thoe, good luck figuring it out!!!

To me, she looks like a busy normal with burns who needs some groceries and a few sheds.

I have rescued a few large females who looked axanthic or off-color at first, but after a few meals, they rebound back and take on that nice glowy-brown.

Even though she may not look like she is suffering from malnutrition, she easily could be. Poor quality meals, infrequent small meals, or parasites could easily be the cause of her coloring.

See how she looks after plenty of sheds and a few months of weekly, appropriately-sized feedings. I'm sure she will have browned some, or maybe she will even brighten up. You never know..

But she's definitely not a pastel. They have a definite look to them and she doesn't have it.
