CL Pastel??

I'm new to snakes and I can't tell if this is really a pastel or not. It was posted on Craigslist for $50. Would you buy this snake?

Yup, looks like a pastel. Pretty dark in that pic I would try to get a pic with some better lighting.

I'm not an expert, so I can't tell you if it's a pastel or not.

But personally, I wouldn't buy it, even for $50.

But like I said, I'm far from experienced, so maybe just wait for someone who knows a bit more and see what they have to say. :)

Ask for a picture with better lighting. Pastels are generally a brighter yellow, lacking the brown color of a normal ball; however, when they are in shed they can appear much darker. Plus that picture plain sucks. If it is a pastel, $50 is a good price (given it has been properly taken care of)

Pastel, and no: looks too brown for my taste even in the poor lighting.

The quality of photos you can get from a baked potato these days is indeed impressive...

+1 to better lighting needed. and it depends on how big it is...if it's under, say, 600 grams, it's too browned out for my taste. If It's bigger, I wouldn't mind. (Then again, I'm the mama and breeder of a pretty darn browned out pastel...:rolleyes:)

Otherwise, I like it. If it's a female, it's a steal. I'd buy it, if I needed it, and had the cash. Not the best example of the morph, but I like the pattern on it's back end. Reminds me of my girl.

Haha! I was impressed at the high quality potatograhpy as well!

Thanks, everyone, for your input, it is much appreciated.

What about this girly? She's 450grams & around 3ft long (give or take) and pretty friendly. Asking price is 250.

It is a pastel.

Now should you buy it or not it up to YOU.

Would I? If I was looking for a pet why not, however as breeding stock I would say no.

Yea, as a pet I'd say go for it, it's a Pastel but not one of the higher quality ones. As Deborah said, I wouldn't breed here, but then again you never know what's it'll produce. I would just ask to see pictures of the setup and that way you can tell if it's been properly taken care of or not. The last thing you want to do is end up with a snake that has been neglected because you'll run into issues down the road possibly and that can get expensive. Also check for mites and what not if you do decide to do it and watch it's breathing as well.

Looks like a Pastel to me. Terrible pic but it looks to be pretty browned out.

If its healthy then its worth the price tag. If your looking for a nice pet then you can pick up a Pastel male from a local breeder for the same price and probably better quality.

If it's a female I'd go look at it. If it was that brown in person I wouldn't breed it - to do the hobby a favor lol. So many brown pastels... you can tell a quality collection by the quality of the base females like pastels IMO.
