Pastels Post Here!

I'm a first time snake owner and just bought a 7 month pastel yesterday. He's in the process of shedding right now so he looks pretty dull and of course bringing him into a new environment is delaying the shed even longer do to stress, so I was wondering if people could post pictures of there pastels. Just so I can see what mine will possibly look like (color wise) when he's done his shed.

Thanks!

this is pankake :)

I got natural sunlight pics of a few of mine the other day. The first is a 2004 lemon from Bob Clark, 2nd is a son of his (going to get pics of his sister after she sheds - she's super bright yellow), and 3rd a grandson of his.

Nice pastels people! They are really one of the best morphs out there to have, IMO. Here's my 08 male Shan Longshanks.
Not the most recent pics, both snakes have grown a good bit.

Here is one of my favorites from the 09 season, but he sold fairly fast:

We kept his clutchmate (Bumblebee) as a holdback though:

i will take new ones soon, she's in shed right now.

Here's our 2007 male, Superman Kevin. He's browned out quite a bit but has an amazing pattern.

The second pic shows his colors better. Sorry about the links, I can never upload pics right to the forum.

Pastels do get really browned-out when shedding... somebody on an old thread once described it as "looking like a turd," LOL. :oops: Here's my boy Toby NOT in shed - he's around a year old now, and I love him to pieces (favorite in my whole collection).

This one's going to be my future business logo... for "LBPythons" ;)

This is Koroku. He's not as beautiful as most, but he's mine and I love him.

Just copy the IMG tags in Photobucket and paste them. Or use the Insert Image tool above your post (looks like a mountain with a sun) and paste your URL there.

Here's ours. She's from ReptMart, so I'm guessing a Bell line pastel. Very, very bright colors. Hoping she'll hold them pretty well as she grows up. Sorry for the crappy image quality. This was taken in January, so she's a bit bigger now.

I meant to take new pics of my girl this week but she didn't eat last sunday so I left her alone this week.

MAybe this coming wednesday I can do a little photoshoot if she eats.

Beautiful snakes everyone! I'm hoping mine yellows up. Right now he almost looks like a normal but the place I got him from told me he was much more yellow a week ago and that he probably should be shedding in the next week. I'm excited to see how he turns out :D

You bought him not knowing what he actually looked like? Brave.... I would've waited or asked for pictures.

Great pictures everyone!

Lemon pastels are by far my favorite morph. I am finally going to get one in a couple months!

I'm 16. Its my first snake and I just really wanted one as a pet. I'm not planning on breeding him or anything so I don't really care what the heck color he is. Hahaha. Personality was the only thing that matters to me right now, and he has a great one :)

As long as you are happy. Does he have a pink tinge to his belly? Or are his eyes milky? Those would be the big indicators of him going into shed.

Ok. finally made it. Khaoz shed yesterday, so now he looks pretty enough to have his pic posted..:P

Male is currently with a female normal locked up so i didnt want to disturb him but his next female will be my very large pastel. Not the best lighting but its the same female from my post above.

Yeah, I opened his cage up yesterday to fix some stuff and noticed his eyes look...almost blue. So I'm assuming thats what you mean by cloudiness. His belly also looked a little discolored.
