New pastel coming.

It's either the camera or a contrast touch up, both those snakes are the same. Look at the blushing inside the black, there's a big blush follow by a tiny dot over thickest part of it's belly which is what is best shown in both pics. There are also 5 consecutive dots leading towards the tail and a donut right before it, it's the same snake for sure.

I do think he might have touched up the contrast maybe in Photoshop but the snake is the same, the yellow definitely looks alot more vivid in his ad photo.

Hmmm anyone else think that Mr. Belcher might just be touching up his photos a BIT?. Don't get me wrong she's a beautiful looking little snake but I wouldn't send that POS a red cent.

Look what happens when I turn up the saturation just a smidge:

It wouldn't surprise me a bit. To be fair, my doctored photo is closer to how the snake actually looks in person, but I would rather have the advertiser post an unaltered photo and be pleasantly surprised when I receive the snake. My photo was taken outdoors in the shade, the ad looks like it was taken indoors with a flash, it's hard to say. I am very happy with the color of the snake though. It is the brightest colored pastel I have seen in person, and I've seen quite a few.

Nice Pastel! :) Hopefully all checks out fine!

Goodluck!

As long as you're happy, it's all that matters when it's your own pet.

Atleast it's the same one in the initial picture..

Cheers

shes a beauty, good luck with her. hopefully she checks out well at the vet and lives a long and happy life with you.:gj:
