Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
What kind of pastel is she? She is advertised as a female pastel.
It looks really bright. I've seen several pictures of her, and they are really clean. She looks the same in all pictures so the colors aren't just random. You guys have to tell me.
She kinda looks like a super. I see almost no brown. Here's a link that will blow up the picture for better view.

They have a very silver-ish look to them when they are fresh out the egg....that pic there is of the snake probably a day, if not hours, after hatching. When they shed out, their true colors/pattern are more clearly represented.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
I knew that, but the lady said that picture was a week old. And the baby is almost hitting 2 months now.
Hmmmm. She has siblings that are a little darker than her. She just stands out. Let me see if I can find that picture.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
No it looks like a light pastel.
Heres a good pic of a pastel and a super.

Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
I still don't think that snake is 2 months old in that pic...could be wrong though.
I'd go for it...the light head usually means good things later on...

Brad I would have to agree if they are claiming that the pic shown is of an animal that is two months old at the time the pic was taken then no its not two months old.
That pastel still has the pick color of a hatchling.

That's what was sticking out to me...that "hatchling" look...
Might be just a communication error, but if the seller sent that pic and claimed it was 2 months old in that picture, I would tread very carefully with that particular seller...
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
I gotta say the black is still very dominant on the snake, regardless. I dont think it's a super. That pic does look "fresh from the egg" :P
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
So I think everyone would agree that it's:
A) most likely a regular pastel fresh from the egg
B) Less likely something very special that he should definitely snatch up...
I would ask for a DATED photograph taken within the last week for verification.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
i would ask the seller for a picture on todays newspaper with the date clearly visible....

Or just ask if its an updated pic.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
but if the seller is already sending him a picture of a fresh out of the egg snake and saying it's two months old, is she really going to send a true updated picture?
i would just be cautious, but thats just me....
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
that little worm needs to eat.
no way that's a super ... might be a nice pastel in the future, light/white head is a good indicator ... a couple meals and a few sheds will tell the true story.

Did he say the snake was 2 months or the pic. The pic and the animal may be 2months old explaining why it looks like a hatchling. They may be showing that pic because pastels are super clean looking when they are just hatched.

so the snake is almost 2 months old and the picture was taken a week ago... to me it sounds like the picture is a snake that is a week short of 2 months, or at least that's what she is saying.
everyone is saying it looks only a couple days old, so she is either lying about the snake, or something else is going on.
thats just my opinion.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
Not a super, and it has that "sheen" of a hatchling before it's first shed.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
Yeah; it looks like my regular pastel hatchlings in color. Like was said before, the light had is a good indicator of things to come, but I would not buy anything until after its first shed and a few meals.
Re: Doesn't this pastel look like a super??
Well, if the price is right, I'd say go for it, regardless. It's a nice animal. Oh, and RKO your signature is hilarious!!!! How did you do it?
