    Thoughts on my male pastel?

    I bought this guy at Repticon in September of 2013. The breeder said he's a pastel, but the pattern on him is a little strange. Even the breeder was surprised at his patterning and said he would have held him back if he had turned out to be female. I've had people tell me he looks more like an enchi. I should've asked the breeder what the pairing was but it was the first morph I had ever bought so I was inexperienced and didn't know what I should've been asking. Either way, I want to breed ball pythons (a few years from now) and I'm wondering what I should pair him with? I'm hoping that whatever I pair him with, the patterning might come out a little different and strange like his.

    And I can't figure out how to just post a picture on here, so here's a link to my tumblr with a picture of him

    He looks nice and bright, as for pairings, it depends on your interests and or what you can afford. if you are wondering if there is another gene in there, you can breed it to a normal, if it is just a pastel you should get 50/50 normals/pastels

    I'd invest in an Enchi combo if I were you! Your guy is nice and reduced and has a killer colour which would mesh nicely with that morph, there aren't enough nice Pastel Enchis out there anyways.
