I don't know. I have a super pastel and he has a lot more pink


This is a super pastel. Much lighter and with notes of orange and pink

This is a snake I have bought but waiting for weather to warm up to ship. I am waiting on information on the pairing from the breeder. I bought her as a pastel for $100 plus shipping. To me it looks like a A+++ Pastel, but the blushing on the head kind of makes me wonder...

Not all super pastels have these colors. I've seen more without than with them, and I see a lot of the photos from that site have a similar look to them. Could be the genetics, could be the lighting...

That looks like a very high quality pastel to me, OP. It's very hard for a breeder to mix up pastels/super pastels from the same clutch most of the time... Within a clutch it should be very apparent who carries the gene twice and who does not.

At first sight, I would have said super. But if the breeder is selling it as a single gene pastel, it very well might be. But if it is, that's one stellar example of a pastel...

Think its just a really clean pastel im pretty sure breeders would know a pastel from a super pastel especially considering the price difference. A f pastel is about $100 a female super pastel i would say is about $300 maybe more

looks like a pastel to me. Supers all tend to have purple noses. Your baby has a more brown nose. Looks like you got yourself a nice pastel girl though.

Here is a picture of my pastel female as a baby. Horrible photo, bust shows the head blushing well. Also note the brown nose.



Now look at a super baby. See how the head can be just as blushed but the nose is purple.

Here is another super, totally different head but still has that purple nose.

The breeder will know at hatch. Super pastels out of the egg are completely washed out compared to pastels.

This makes me think of the baby I hatched this year.





When he hatched, I had no idea what he was, but the consensus here was just an amazing pastel. Now that he's grown and shed a few times, it's easy to see he's just a really, really nice pastel.
