Is he really a pastel lesser?

I bought the little guy as a pastel lesser het clown but I can not see the pastel in him, the others I have seen are noticeably more yellow from the pastel, though with every picture I take I can't truly capture his coloring. His head isn't even blushed out like a pastel. I just want to know if I'm missing something when I look at him or if he is actually missing something. I bought him and my het ghost clown pair from Outback Reps and the other two are exactly what I bought them as.

I think the last picture is the closest to his color.

I see Lesser. I think a picture with white lighting or an outside pictures with natural sunlight would help better. Your pictures have a very yellow tint to them.

I see nothing but cool looking lesser

I don't see pastel

Either a mixup or a mis-identification. Single gene lesser :oops:

Looks like a lesser do not see the pastel in it beautiful looking snake tho

I don't see pastel in that lesser. Just for comparison here is a pastel lesser.

I messaged Mike and he said it is pastel lesser just not an extreme one, but I took another photo under a 100watt bulb and I can't get any closer picture to his actual colors.

I guess I will just try an prove him out later on because I still don't see it.

Hey guys since we are on the discussion of is this a Lesser "something" I have this female ball I got around x-mas time from a local breeder. I thought he said it was a Pewter (cinna x pastel) BUT I think she might be a Lesser Cinnamon. and I'll tell you why.
The "sire and dam" or ma and pa balls were a male Lesser Pewter het albino and female visual Albino. Clutch mates of my female to my knowledge were a lesser pewter albino male possible worlds first?! not sure, a male pewter albino, my female "something" , and a male Sterling. Ill post pictures of daughter 1st then mom and dad and tell me what you think.

Looks like a regular ol' Pewter to me ... I see no lesser in that snake ... Also the "sterling lesser male" sibling you posted a picture of ....... There's no way to get sterling anything with this pairing as there is only one pastel gene .. so if this breeder was serious about the sterling lesser thing, it throws a red flag up for me, but this is going off the info you provided in your post which is slightly confusing and contradicting .... with the information you have provided, along with the confusion of a sterling in this clutch from that pairing, unless you are 100% sure the dam was an albino ... I say you have a Pewter possible Het. Albino

I just see lesser, but i might be wrong. I actually just got my pastel lesser and i love it!

I still see Lesser... my question is, if you don't see the Pastel in it, why purchase it?

In the picture from the breeder he looked like he had pastel in him, I did see another classified of a pastel lesser that looked EXACTLY like him. So I don't I will wait and see I suppose either way he is gorgeous and has a great personality.

This is my pastel lesser for an example. Pastel would have more of a yellow appearance I believe. [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...psbcw8orvj.jpg[/IMG]

Its a regular lesser. The easiest way is to look at the head, and yours screams lesser. Heres the only comparison pic I have (you can see the obvious blushing difference):

Left - Super Pastel Lesser
Middle - Lesser
Right - Pastel Lesser
