Has the Pastel trait made its way to dominance in this snake?

Think this is a Super? All opinions welcome.

Yup. My guess based on the faded head.

Are you asking if it's a super pastel butter/lesser?

Yep.

I know, the head looks like the giveaway but the overall color has me a bit thrown off.

It looks like a nice pastel lesser to me, but not a super.

This is what I picture when I think of a super pastel lesser. :)

Send it to me. I'll prove it out and let you know. :D

I'm told she was produced from Pastel Lesser x Pastel. I have no reason to think I'm being lied to at all but I can't honestly say I'm certain she's a Super just by looking at her.

Me too. But of course they can vary so much. She's either an incredible Pastel Lesser, or an average Super. I'm not good at leaps of faith. Haha

Here's her sibling, in full shed, also thought to be a Super.

His sibling looks like a Super! They are average looking Supers! You will never really know until you breed it! If it is a Super then you will not get any normals, everything will at least be Supers!

I dunno. Have you already bought it? If not - will the person guarantee the genetics as a super?

Yes, he says he gurantees the genetics but he got them from a breeder who was getting out of Balls, so he may just be "sold" on the idea that they're for certain Supers. I can't say I'm sold on that though. We're working out a trade but I just want to be sure first...Don't know what to do, haha.

Unfortunately people getting out of Balls tend to say whatever is necessary to sell them. I learned this the hard way from a deal with Tom Crutchfield.

However this is not always the case, but still I would trust your feelings and research over what the breeder says, if you are not 100% sure that it's a Super you may want to pass.

Being in a area so close to so many great reptile expos you definitely would not have a hard time finding another Lesser Super Pastel.
