opinions pls

[fionab]

thought i would post this here for some opinions.......... i have had various opinions from over here,about this snake, opinions which have changed lightly a the snake has aged........

so would appreciate some opinions from here.....

I bought this snake as a 6 month old male super pastel weighing in at only 80g,

I was pretty much slated for buying it as everyone "knew" by the photos it wasnt a super pastel.....

but as the snake has aged it has changed a fair bit and a lot of people are now revising their first opinions........ also to add to it all, "he" has now turned into "she"

Im thinking there is also something granitey going on i just dont know tho...... she doesnt tick all the boxes for Super pastelll but she looks far more than a pastel........ parentage i was told was graziani pastel to super pastel of unknown lineage

when she was just 6 months old.........






about a year old



few months ago

now


must add that im not bothered either way what she turns out to be it would be nice to put it to rest one way or the other tho

Can you post a recent belly shot?

Edit- I ask because of some of the side blushing if it could be a pastel yellowbelly.

[CCfive]

That is without a doubt a pastel,(not super),sorry. A super's head is much more blushed out. That is how pastels age. My 2yo female looks the same.

^ I agree. Great looking pastel. The head isn't right to be super.

[fionab]

agree the head isnt right but seen in the flesh most folk are going towards super.... have to say she is unlike any other pastel i have ever seen. thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts much appreciated! no need to apologise, im happy with her whatever she is! all she needs now is a better disposition! lol

this is the only part belly shot i have.... dont think there is any yb in her

Its a catch all reply but.. Prove her out. Pick up a normal male.

She is gorgeous btw!!!!

Not to be nit picky but that wont really prove her to be a super. Super pastel X normal = 100% pastel. Pastel X normal = 50% pastel, 50% normal. BUT that means there is a chance of getting 100% pastels.

im not going to waste her to a normal. is i had great plans i would want to prove her out properly which would take a number of clutches at 100% pastels. the thought is either a cinni or a woma maleand just see what happens lol much more fun!

Definitely a pastel, good luck with her!
