Pastel?

I wanted to confirm that my female BP, Roxy, is a Pastel. I don't think she is a normal type, but I'm not 100% sure what she is. She's not very yellow, more of just a light brown all the way through (dark brown on her head) with strong black lines (some fire/blushing at some points). What do you guys think?

^this one doesn't show up when I preview it, but the link still works if you choose to open it in a new tab.

Those are the only pics I have now, I can post more if needed.

Not a Pastel...looks pretty normal to me...

I was told she was a pastel, but it was by a Petsmart employee lol. I still love her all the same, I am just curious.

Did this same employee tell you it was a female?

Nope, not a pastel. But a pretty normal for sure :)

Haha thanks. Yes, the employee did tell me she was a female, but he actually did the probing (i watched him) because he has some BPs himself and breeds them. I don't know why he told me it was a pastel (it wasn't for a sale because I paid the same as a normal). It may have been an honest mistake since she did look different from all of the others with such a sharp, clear pattern.

No pastel there. Very pretty girl regardless! I love her pattern:gj:

He can't tell a Pastel from a normal...I wouldn't trust his probing skills...

Granted I took it with a grain of salt but the employee that didn't know much about snakes said she was a boy and he right away said no, that's not right and did it on the spot and I'm not an expert but from what I saw it looked like a female to me and I doubted that she was a pastel enough to raise the question here so maybe I have a better eye. :P

I guess we'll find out when he/she's old enough to make/have babies. Maybe I'll get her sexed by a professional, but for now I'll just assume she's a girl. Like I said I love him/her all the same.:D
