Looks like a pastel to me aswell. I was under the impression that the citrus line was one of those really bright lines. So if it is indeed a citrus, it is definitely just a single gene. The supers you need sunglasses for from what I've seen.

Definitely a pastel from this pic. $50 isnt a bad price for a male pastel though. This is why in your original thread when you mentioned this i asked to see pics BEFORE you bought the snake. I wasnt trying to be a jerk, i was just trying to help you out. I wouldnt trust the breeder you got the snake from anymore. It seems like they intentionally scammed you or they really dont know what theyre doing yet. (By scammed, i dont mean you lost money. i just mean they lied). In all honesty, i really was hoping you would prove me wrong! :p

Nope it's 8 and I'll make it x9. Nice reduced pattern for a pastel though!

alright well thanks guys but what do you think i should say to this guy? i have his number i was wondering from the start if this guy was legit or not bu i had a hard time believing it and now there is clear proof i just dont know what to say to the guy without sounding like a jerk. plus my uncle knows him personally and i see him often so cussing him out isnt a option lol (not like it would ever be but just thought i would throw that out there)

Best advice is don't buy from him again and let it be. You didn't overpay for a male pastel at $50.

Yup. Just a Pastel.

I would politely inform the breeder that you think there is some sort of mix up. The snake you got is not a super, but a single gene pastel.
Do you know the exact pairing of the snakes? It's clear that the snake you have is a pastel, but knowing the parents might help your argument.
You just told us one of the parents was a Citrus Pastel.

There is not enough blushing to be a super. And the color is not bright enough.

But like the others said, you didn't get ripped of money wise. $50 is pretty reasonable and/or even a good deal. He's just a liar. And I personally would question the "citrus" part too since they're known to be really bright yellow and clean looking.

Hopefully Missriss2012 will come here and post a picture of her Super Pastel as a comparison. (He is a steller example)

my uncle just informed me it was not a citrus it was breed with it was a graziani does that change your guys's opinion on it being a super at all? he said they are dull.

was also just informed that hes only 2 weeks old so that may make a difference too

Nope still just pastel sorry.

To me it's just a pastel. I don't believe the line of pastel is of importance here. You'd see more blushing and a lot more yellow if it was a super. That's just my opinion though. I'm not well inform in the different lines of pastel.

No. Grazianis aren't as bright as other lines, but they are known for their intense blushing, which your snake does not have.
Your snake is still a single gene pastel. Sorry :(

You still only say one parent is a pastel. What was the other? If the other parent didn't carry the pastel gene, there is no chance for your baby to be a super anyway. (Still a pastel regardless)

No. The younger the snake, the brighter it should be. And
Super Pastel babies are super bright.

And wow only 2 weeks old? That is fairly young.

What you have is 1000000000% pastel

it was breed with another pastel but i dont know what kind it was and ya i know it is really young

I'll x10, 15, 20, etc that your baby is a regular pastel and not a super pastel (Pastel to pastel breeding doesn't guarantee all babies to be supers)

Just call the guy and said you received a pastel. And ask if there was a mix up. "Hey I got the snake but you sent a pastel."

Hate to beat a dead horse but... Yup just a pastel.
Ask the guy what the pairing was, how long has the guy been breeding? It is kind of hard to mix up a pastel and a super pastel. Unless you have a very poor quality super and a amazing pastel, even then the head should show the blushing. For $50 you got a good deal, it just suck you had the idea you were getting a super.
