New Pastel! Thanks Kinra!
So today was the open house at Garrick DeMeyer's breeding facility in Wausau, WI. I was supposed to go and hitch a ride up with Kinra (you are all probably familiar with her, she's is on this site quite a bit and is pretty cool!!) Unfortunately, I couldn't make it. There was a certain female pastel that I wanted. It was top notch. Bright yellow, no orange, heavy blushing...she's an awesome snake! Anyways, I asked Kinra if she could pick me up the female if I got a hold of Garrick beforehand. Well..this was the night before, and I was unable to reach him. Kinra offered to pay for the female for me as long as I paid her back. I guess she couldn't contain herself because she ended up buying another pastel female that was 50% het Caramel! This pastel is very nice, but not quite the looker as the regular pastel. I could tell that Kinra really liked the regular pastel, so I decided to let her have her and I took the possible het. I mean, she drove up there and was nice enough to pick me up a snake, so she gets first pick. It's only fair! :D Besides, I know the quality of snakes Garrick produces, and realize the potential for clean top notch offspring is there. I was planning on using her for my cinnamon to make pewters but now I might have to prove out this little girl first so I know if my pewters will be 50% hets for caramel!!
Here's some pictures of my new pastel 50% het caramel from royal constrictor designs:

She certainly stood out as the best until he opened the tub for the one you let me keep (will be creating a thread for her in a minute). If you change your mind let me know. As I said, the two I picked up were both ones I'd be happy to have in my collection. :)
Hopefully you can make it to the open house next year. :)
Thanks again! Yes, I love her and had no problem picking her because like you, I'm happy with either one!
