You don't need to buy any morph to prove her out, just a normal male/female to breed with. Pastels are codom and will produce roughly 50% pastels, and 50% normals. If you get another pastel you will get (don't quote me) 25% super pastels, 50% pastels, and 25% normals.

Pastels are an affordable morph, that's my first and so far only morph. They are the least expensive at $100-$150 on average. I bought a nerd pastel for a great price and he keeps getting brighter with every shed.

For all the world it looks like a normal was replaced with a pastel. I saw in the video a partial back stripe at each end. I wondered if they were in the still photos but couldn't get a good view.

the latest photos have me thinking along the same lines as the fire/sulphur crowd...

i love the threads about ball pythons changing colours. they are so interesting

i don't know why i'm still getting posts of people doubting my word. i took time out to take MORE pictures. good ones. and there's still a debate? it's obviously the same snake if you look at the markings. i'm not taking any more pictures. you can obviously see the markings on the tail in the pictures in the link.

Not a pastel. People have to stop wishing for the impossible.
Maybe if we say the word PASTEL 100 times it will turn into one.
