Hmmm is has characteristics of a black pastel but I'm seeing a dark normal too (if it is a black pastel then it's a low quality one IMO). I'll wait till others chime in.

Re: Black Pastel?
The breeder that gave it to me told me it very well could be a black pastel (he sells the snakes, his wife breeds them). I know hes vaguely familiar with morphs, etc but his wife is the "brains" behind the operation. I would reach out to them again to find out, however, I didn't have the foresight to get contact info. I traded an old Herpstat for it
The pictures really dont do the colors justice, I have a couple of normals and they are nothing like this. The blacks are darker in person, and the blushing along the dorsal is more evident. I've never seen a black pastel in person so this is difficult to classify for me. I should also note that I got a couple other normals from the same breeder and they are much lighter in coloration and very reduced.

Re: Black Pastel?
the pattern is kinda off for a black pastel though. double checking with the wife would be good though
here's mine for comparison

Re: Black Pastel?
Thanks, JaGv! Your picture really translates the colors well, this hatchling is very similar to the image you posted in regards to how dark and saturated the colors are in comparison to the normals I am used to seeing. If this is indeed a black pastel I will be purchasing a male black pastel or cinny for the super form!

be aware of the slightly high birth defect rate of super black pastels and super cinny's. don't quote me on this but if you bred a cinny x black pastel it results in a less "black" super, but has a lower birth defect rate.
just a heads up!

Re: Black Pastel?
that would be a good way. i'd go for the super black pastel. but beware of defects
