Pastel or Superpastel?
Sorry to do another one of these threads...but I gotta know your opinions. In any case, she's staying right here to be bred next year.
Story is: The previous owner sold it to a mom & pop pet store as a pastel, and said they had had her for 2 years. So, I don't know when she hatched...I know she's at least an '09.
Anyway, the mom & pop shop sold her as a 726 gram female pastel, 2 yrs. old. I jumped on it and paid $160.
My friend picked her up for me and I see her in person yesterday. WOW what a blusher! Beautiful blushing for this old of a snake. She's about 750 grams and gorgeous!
The more I think about it, for her age, I really wonder if she's a super. Compared to our others, she's just so faded and bright! So I thought I'd post pics and see what you all think. I can't believe anyone would sell a superpastel to a pet shop, no knowing it's a superpastel, but I guess it could happen.
Thanks for looking.

That doesn't look at all like a superpastel to me. Just a pastel.

She is incredible, I cannot believe you paid only $160 for her!

Super nice pastel, she probably could fetch three or four times what was paid for her!

Great pick up on that pastel, not a super pastel but a really good price for the weight and quality of snake

Yeah, I'm super excited! I picked her up so I could do a quick turnaround on a sale, but after seeing her in person, she's gonna at least breed for me one year. She's got the age, and I'm betting she'll easily get the weight, too. She's a sweet snake.
Thanks for the help guys!

That is a good deal for a Pastel but even regular Pastels can have some nice blushing! I paid $350 for my female Pastel(my avatar pic)!
