I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby

We bought our little girl recently and I think we were lied to as to her color. They told us she was a pastel, but I'm thinking she is a normal. I feel so foolish. Please help ID her!

Thank you!

She is a very pretty Normal but nothing in your photos make me think Pastel. Pastels come in a wide variety same as Normals but here is a photo of one of my 2012 Pastels.

Cute little normal, certainly not pastel though. Sorry! Hope it wasn't a reputable breeder!

A reputable breeder wouldn't put their reputation on the line for misrepresenting one of their lowest money makers.

Does it mean anything that her eyes are golden colored on the top 1/3 of her iris? I am definitely going to contact the breeder we purchased her from. Thank you for the help!

I don' t think it's a pastel. The sides are too dark, and the eyes aren't light enough...

There, fixed it! Money's tight, you never know! Could have been an accident as well!

Unfortunately not. :/ it's the coloring of the snake that makes it a pastel and it seems that yours is a regular one. I posted a picture of one of my babies. http://img.tapatalk.com/468a6a54-9762-e758.jpg

The gold color is normal to a normal's eye. If you look it kinda fits right in with the facial pattern. Pastels have green eyes. Sometimes it a clear bright green and sometimes its duller and muddy. Their color can really range from low quality to bright and vibrant too. From those pictures all I see is normal. I would be suspicious it being female too if you are taking their word for it.

No, you didn't fix it. A REPUTABLE breeder wouldn't NEVER put their reputation on the line for ANY reason. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reputable. I take issue with you presuming that they'd even consider it, as a breeder myself. So I'm going to cheat someone out of a pastel and effectively put myself out of business over $100?

And a reputable breeder wouldn't not mistake that for a pastel.

I said exactly what I meant, and it didn't require any editing.
