    Question I think I got lied to...help ID'ing our baby

    We bought our little girl recently and I think we were lied to as to her color. They told us she was a pastel, but I'm thinking she is a normal. I feel so foolish. Please help ID her!








    Thank you!
    Colleen

    She is a very pretty Normal but nothing in your photos make me think Pastel. Pastels come in a wide variety same as Normals but here is a photo of one of my 2012 Pastels.

    A reputable breeder wouldn't put their reputation on the line for misrepresenting one of their lowest money makers.

    Does it mean anything that her eyes are golden colored on the top 1/3 of her iris? I am definitely going to contact the breeder we purchased her from. Thank you for the help!

    I don' t think it's a pastel. The sides are too dark, and the eyes aren't light enough...

    Unfortunately not. :/ it's the coloring of the snake that makes it a pastel and it seems that yours is a regular one. I posted a picture of one of my babies.

    The gold color is normal to a normal's eye. If you look it kinda fits right in with the facial pattern. Pastels have green eyes. Sometimes it a clear bright green and sometimes its duller and muddy. Their color can really range from low quality to bright and vibrant too. From those pictures all I see is normal. I would be suspicious it being female too if you are taking their word for it.
    0.1 Pastel Lesser Platinum (BP)
    0.1 Dumerils Boa
    0.1 Indian Sand Boa (Sunset)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Anery)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Rufescen)
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Albino)
    1.0 Kenyan Sand Boa (Paradox Snow)
    And a lot of Tarantulas

    No, you didn't fix it. A REPUTABLE breeder wouldn't NEVER put their reputation on the line for ANY reason. Otherwise, they wouldn't be reputable. I take issue with you presuming that they'd even consider it, as a breeder myself. So I'm going to cheat someone out of a pastel and effectively put myself out of business over $100?

    And a reputable breeder wouldn't not mistake that for a pastel.

    I said exactly what I meant, and it didn't require any editing.
