Pastel or something more?

Freshly hatched so I'll post more pictures if needed after she sheds.

What was the pairing?

The pairing was a Recused pastel

And a snake I bought from a breeder who told me I should breed her to a YB to test her out. Looking for a picture, but she purchased as a normal.

I can't remember but I think she's in shed in this photo. She ate last night so i'll take another of her outside in a few days if it isn't too hot or raining :)

looks like a pastel

That doesn't look like a yellowbelly to me, I would guess that the hatchling is just a pastel.

I was thinking she's a granite, not a YB... Breed those together for an ebony :) Figured that's why he suggested the YB, since I knew she wasn't a YB


I got another pastel in this clutch that isn't nearly as light as this one... There's another like this one hatching too. Sorry there isn't a head in that picture

And the normals that have hatched

I see a nice looking pastel. Keep in mind that hatchlings in the same clutch can vary in color/quality.

If anything keep the babies and see how the grow! Use them as a dinker project and see if you get some more great looking snakes like these ones!!! :)

I hatched a great pastel earlier this year. Her dad was a good looking pastel like yours, allthough yours looks lighter on the sides....

I plan on keeping 1 or 2 female pastels and a Male.... so far all females with 2 left to come out of the egg... One of them has a nice stripe running part way down his back, haven't seen it all yet.

I couldn't pop one pastel since it still has a little yoke attached but I will once it sheds.

All I can say is, if that baby hold the ridiculous faded head after shed, that is one to keep. That head fade makes me think super pastel.
