Whats your opinion? Is it a pewter?

Looking at a snake someone has advertised as a pewter. What do you all think.

I would say yes, but imho, a pretty poor example of one

EDIT...after looking at some more pewters and then comparing these 2...I would change my answer to no. It is not a pewter.

Looks like a normal to me. pewters are more like this http://www.exoticsbynature.com/image...pewter/02l.jpg

theres a pewter for ya!!!

see above post

if it is just a poor example of a pewter would that mean all its offspring would be low grade aswell?

That is just an adult pastel. Not a Pewter

This is an adult Pewter

To be fair, those are pre-shed babies - and VERY awesome looking. :) Here's a pewter closer in size & color to that ad: http://www.vpi.com/sites/vpi.com/fil...w(VPI)001o.jpg

I definitely don't think it's a normal... but if it's a pewter, I'd agree it isn't the best example of one.

looks like an older pastel. imo

Cinnamon changes the 'alien-head' markings. That snake just looks 'jungly'. It looks like an ordinary pastel (definitely not a normal, but not a pewter, either).

are there any tell tale signs for a pewter like clear bellys, or a patterned belly, eye colors, something?

looks like a true pewter to me, although nothing to special. great looking snake though :salute:

I would say that is not a Pewter... I just can't see it.

Looks like a nice looking adult Pastel.

Just a Pastel. There is not a drop of Cinny in that snake.

I really dont think thats a pewter, if so thats a really bad one, more like a pastel/bright normal.

It looks like a pastel. The lateral pattern is not typical of a pewter, more so of a pastel. The only thing that looks pewterish on that snake is the washed look to it, but pastels have this also. Here are my pewters

Whatever he is I ended up buying him. I saw it in person and just loved the way he looked. I have told myself he is just a pastel that might give me a suprise. The guy i got him from said he and a sib were practically silver and grey when he got them and that this one just put on more color as time gave. I really dont care tho i think he looks awesome.

agreed

dash a pastel!

If you like him, AND paid less than $150, I think you did well. If you paid Pewter price, I think you got ripped.

Dave

I sort of agree with Ember. I could see paying slightly more than $150 if you really liked him. Do you mind telling us what he cost? Did the breeder have any pictures of him as a hatchling? I think most people take pictures when a clutch hatches, and again after they shed, especially on a nice clutch with combos. I know I do.

i got this 07 1.0 pastel/pewter who knows bout 800 grams, a 08 1.0 nice white spider bout 350 grams, and 0.3 pastel sibling (norms) 250-350 grams for 300 i thought it was a good deal

great deal for a spider and big male pastel and 3 female normals pastel is a codom gene which means a pastel sib is just a normal.
A spider male that size 200-300
male pastel that size 150-200 and the 3 normals 35-50 a piece
You made out at 300 for all great deal
Just to put a pewter in perspective

Its a baby but you cam see the difference

Great deal, Nice looking spider too!!

Gotta love craigslist.....i actually picked up another 1200 grams plus normal female that has been a pet for the past 2.5 years for 30
That is a beautiful pewter. I never in my mind was fully convinced what i had was a pewter i just wasnt sure if there was such thing as low quality or just ugly example of a morph

Yeah craigslist is fun just make sure you QT the animals and also that the sex is correct most "Pet BP's" are bought at pet stores and while most are imports or CH some do come from breeders and most if not all are Males.

Thats for sure but i had it checked immediately after

Good lord all this pewter talk is making me want to bring the checkbook out. :D
