Yep a pastel, but take note of the orangey brown tones on her as they will BROWN out as she ages. She may look decent now, but she will brown out a lot as she ages.

Re: New pastel?
Ok so my next question is will she produce pastels if breed to a normal high gold reduced pattern male? She is out of a super pastel x normal. Would you guys pay $100.00 for her no shipping as I am in same state as seller.

You can definitely improve the offspring by picking clean nice coloured sires... but more to the point, do you like her? You could find brighter examples, in the end the snake will be around 20+ years- so make sure you feel good about your purchase.

This is why I am asking. I am on the fence with this one. Would you call this a Grade "B" pastel as I have seen some refer to them as?

Yes, I would call her a Grade B. I try to selectively breed, so I'm extremely picky with the animals that I bring in. For MY breeding purposes, she would be one that I personally would pass on.
However, I'm also willing to pay more for the nicest examples that I can find.

She's dark, and I wouldn't call her grade A, but it sounds like that's also reflected in the price? If you are going to do a small select collection, you can wait for a brighter snake, you will likely pay more though. Just up to what you want to do, really.
