Re: Rescued BP - is it Pastel?
Doesn't look like a Pastel, but it does look like a really light normal. It could be another morph, but most likely it is a very light normal, very beautiful too.
And holy crap, that is a huge scar in its back.
EDIT: It kind of looks like a Fire to me, but I could be wrong LOL..
You don't normally find BP morphs slithering around the outdoors. Especially in the United States LOL.

He seems to be coming back slowly, still a bit sluggish though.
I'll be honest, I'm not very familiar with BP's, hence why I have joined this online community.
Here are three photos, I hope I am able to receive some input.
He's certainly brighter/lighter than others I have seen.
What color are his eyes?

He's beautiful! He reminds me of Desert Ghosts. Definitely a unique snake.
Poor fellow, though--stuck outside in 50-degree weather! I'm glad you found him!

It's a light colored normal. It has horrible rodent scars, but they are healed up well. Keep him warm and well fed and he will still make a great pet.

Yeah, I probably will wait a couple weeks to feed him, that way he can settle in and start actin' like a Ball again. I noticed however, it may have a RI. When it flicks his tongue out, it looks like the end tips are stuck together. I've only seen that a few times, as he refrains from using much of that organ right now.
BTW, I'll take a close-up pic of its eyes and post it soon enough.

You might want to have a vet give him a look over

Re: Rescued BP - is it Pastel?
Your temps are too cold in his cage. I would raise the warm side to about 90 and the cool side to a little over 80.

Re: Rescued BP - is it Pastel?
If your lucky he may just be dehydrated. Give him a bowl of fresh water and slowly get the temps up to 90/91 hot side and about 83/85 cool side. Humidity pretty hight too. About 65% at least.
If he does have an RI raising the temp and humidity will help until you can get him to a vet. Id definately get him to a vet though. Poor thing is underweight too. Id try giving a mouse in a week or 2. Dont try feeding him too much too fast though.
