Quality of my girl?

What do you think as to the quality of my girl. I don't have a pic in natural light but this is without a flash. She is a cb13 pastel at 263g (fussy eater) I know some are neon yellow and she isn't but what do you think?

Other post inspired me to ask :)

Hard to say without full body and I like belly and side shots as well.
That picture alone, I would say average to a little above.
Nice blushing and a cute little face! LOL!

Is this better?

Yes definitely like the blushing and she has some flames up her sides.
What do the parents look like? are they browned out or are they holding their color?

I couldn't tell you :/ I bought her from a reptile shop so I have no idea of her parentage. Does she look like a better quality in that picture? Only one I have of her where I'm not holding her and which is a decent photograph.

I've seen alot worse and if she holds her color she will be a nice adult for your breeding projects.
Question is what do you think of her? Everyone looks for different qualities and will not always match yours,
so buy what you like and be happy.
As far as a number I'd say 7 out of 10.

Pros: very nice blushing
Cons: Color is already browning out for being only 263g

In my opinion, color is more important in pastels. I would grade her an average or lower. 5/10

She was my first so she holds a special place in my heart but I was curious, I have seen much "nicer" pastels with more vibrant colouring on here and it sparked my curiosity of what the more knowledgeable thought of her. Regardless of if she was below average, average or exceptional; she is still special to me :)


If memory serves me correctly the full body picture was taken when she was in shed! I really need to get her back out for another picture! Sorry I forgot all about that as this is when not long after I first got her :)

This is what should matter in the end. If you love her, then that's the important thing. It doesn't matter what others think.

See everyone looks for different qualitys.
To help the browned out look breed her to a vanilla cream,
the babies will be hott!

I was planning to breed her with my male bee and my lesser to my spider (etc with my other pairs) Wouldn't be for a few years though before considering breeding any of mine :)

Or I could do lesser x mojave and find something else for my spider...I have too many compatible BP's and I only have the 8!

By the time your ready to breed that number will be a bit higher! lol!

I think she's awesome! I love her blushing!! :gj:

My pastel doesn't have as much blushing, but he has a little brighter coloring. He's still young though, so only time will tell whether or not the coloring holds.

Here are a couple "post shed" pics..

Definitely has some nice blushing, but pretty brown already for a baby. 4/10

Personally, I can't stand the look of most pastels on the market. I will never buy one unless it is insanely yellow with very dark blacks. I can't stand the fact that people have been so careless with breeding that most people consider a brown pastel normal or average. Thus, why I will probably never buy one. *shrug*

Regardless, even though the color isn't what I'd personally look for, I love the blushing on your little girl. She's a pretty little lady. Too brown for my tastes, but still pretty.

And I agree, she has a cute little face.

But as Satomi said, what any one of us thinks of her doesn't matter. Only what you think matters. You love her and that is the most important thing. People's tastes vary widely, which is one thing that makes each of us unique. :D

She was my first and I went in going for a normal, and I'll admit I was pretty clueless and through this site and facebook groups I have come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of months :)

When I picked her I fell in love with her, she was the one I had to have and I had no idea about qualities, heck I barely knew about morphs apart from some slight literature I had browsed. I have been through the trials with her too, bad shed, retained eye caps, mites, not eating so I think she means even more to me for that too :)

In other news my bigger het albino boy has just had his first perfect shed with me (got him on the 21st October) so I'm just in a very happy mood today.

Thank you for your comments on her aesthetic quality though guys :)

I totally understand. I had two normals before I ever knew a morph existed. ;) Then I /really/ needed more. Lol!

It's great that you take such good care of them. And that you love them so much. :D

The first one always holds a special place doesn't it :) my het albino normal is my first and even now I see all the other mutations i want to add to my collection, she will always have #1 spot in starting me on this great hobby :)

She looks really good aswell :)

Personally I love her nice bronzie coloration and blushing :)

I Ike the more black and yellow..but still a pretty healthy looking snake and def self opinion is what matters most :)

she looks like an average pastel imo she is very nice though! she looks alot bigger than the weight you mentioned!
its best to get a pastel from a good line, mine is a lemon pastel and she is holding very good colour and is over 1.5kg

She definitely isn't the worst I've seen! She probably is a little lower quality than average, in my opinion. However, like others said, if you love her that is all that matters!!!

Shes average imo. I'd give her a 6.5 out of 10. I'm a sucker for blushing though, i love her blushing haha.

I think with the right male she could make nice babies. I've DEFINITELY seen worse pastels, so i think shes fine n dandy. :)

I think she's pretty for her size.
