Female pastel. (most recent pic, just a weigh in photo)

Thanks so much for posting those photos! I'm thinking the snake that I've been looking at is resembles your pastel the most and the super pastel the least. Having those comparisons sure helps!

That snake is not a super pastel, just a regular pastel. Although it's a very good pastel, it's not worth more than $200....no matter how many genes you suspect to be at play.

Just as an observation, the way you are asking about prices for all the different morphs makes me uneasy. I'm really not trying to place blame, but I know a small mammal flipper and that's what he does...he buys cheap and sells high (no, I do not condone this behavior and thus is no longer a friend of mine). I guess I just get a little cautious with conversations like this. Just watch what you are saying and how you say it to avoid any confusion.

I'm sorry if I've been confusing in my posts. I'm not sure whether the person who is selling the snake is the breeder, a middle man, or a flipper. All I know is that the seller told me that the snake in question is a super pastel. If I buy this snake, it will be for me. I have no plans on selling it. I just want to make sure the price I pay is a fair price (i.e., that I don't overpay), and you all now have me concerned that the asking price is far too high for this particular snake.

I'm glad they helped! Here are some more pics of her that might show her off a little better. That girl you are looking at is gorgeous!

Wow!!!! I love that second photo (the lower one). The bright yellow is amazing. Was that photo taken when she was younger than in the other photos you have posted? I definitely like your girl!

I thought pastel when I saw the picture. Supers have more blushing and a much more faded head IMO

This was taken just now with my phone in the light tent. It has been about 3 weeks since her last shed so age isn't looking her best right now.

I'm thinking I should have set up a poll. Of course, I know it would be unanimous at this point; it would just save me the trouble of counting exactly how many people have said she is just a regular pastel and not a super. :)

She still looks gorgeous. If that's what a regular pastel looks like, I guess I have found what I want: A regular pastel, not a super. :D How old is yours?
