Black Pastel Butter "Black Butter"?

[bimmer28]

I bought this guy from a reptile show, a smaller show from a considerably much smaller breeder. The snake came from a

Black Pastel het. Ghost x Butter het. Ghost

and was sold to me as a Black Butter. Ive been trying to find the black pastel in it and I am new so I am not the most experienced. to me he looks like a really nice butter. I have posted a collage of pics of him in my bathroom with about 225 watt CFL lighting and posted a pic of my lesser in the same lighting for comparison. Also have a flash picture there labeled. The bottom pic is 2 pictures of the lesser photoshopped together

thanks for the help. please help me point out what I may of missed that identified it as a black pastel.

Looks like a butter/ lesser to me too.

Here is a picture of some black platinums/butters.

As you can see the black pastel pushes the pattern further up the side of the animal and distorts it.

thats what I was thinking as well. thatd itd be darker overall or have more dark. it was an impulsive buy on my part. i wanted to make BELs and I will be able to do that. just was hoping for that black pastel to mix with my cinn female.

I think it looks like a low qulaity black butter. Nothing wrong with it, other than the black pastel not doing much to the pattern. The butter pattern is definitely distorted, just not to the "high quality" standards.
