AWESOME photoshoot of Belle (DUW)

[pillowtalk6188]

Great photos, that first one is really nice. What's the verdict on the morph? Normal or pastel? Or are you still unsure

all signs say she is normal. no green eyes, her belly isn't even completely clean. i'd have to breed her out to officially find out. but she def is a gifted normal imo. eventually she could even brown out again. we'll just have to see.

thanks for the comments everyone!!!

The last is the best photo. Have you tried using the flash?

the flash?! that hadn't even occured to me since i was using the light tent. it was made out of pillowcases and leftover fabric. it was totally ghetto rigged. i proped everythign up using a ladder since i had no pvc pipes. i knew it wasn't going o come out perfect.

i've got some learning ahead of me thanks for the advice.

what would be a good but affordable snake to breed her to, to try and prove her out?

Well, you could always get a nice bright pastel male to breed her to. Then the worst thing that happens if she doesn't prove to be a pastel is you've got a chance at making some nice light looking pastel babies that should have some really nice blushing and color! And if she does prove to be a pastel well then you'll have a chance at getting some supers! If you want to be really scientific about it though breeding her to a normal would be the best way to tell for sure if she is or is not a pastel.

Since she is definitely not a pastel (no matter how many times the inexperienced mention the idea), I would agree that a pastel is the obvious choice for a mate.
It seems in the first pic her colour is messed up, but almost like she is losing and gaining patches. You may want to look into getting your rats from a different place for a while to see if that changes anything.
