    Pastel listed on craigslist

    I found a BP advertised as a Pastel on sale for $70. Pastels usually don't go that cheap right? Could this be a trick? The ad says the snake is fine, hasn't bitten ( lol)anyone, eats weekly.





    Any thoughts? That does look like a pastel but how sure can I be? I've heard of people getting ripped off. (Snake could be a pastel look-alike, could have RI/mites etc.)

    Look for clear belly, green or very light eyes. And of course, a yellow look about it.

    Not great pictures (I assume they're from the ad)... it doesn't look like a pastel, but I wouldn't say it looks "completely" normal either. It has a lot of blushing and the top of its head is really light... hmmmm...

    Re: Pastel listed on craigslist

    I'm not sure if it's my computer settings or not but I'm not seeing much for colours there except for black and some greyish greens....must be a normal.

    From those pics he would have had a better chance of trying to pass it as an axanthic....but the price is telling the story in this add.
