A co-worker of mine unfortunately had to downsize her collection, and so sold me two adult males, a spider and what is supposedly a pastel, for $100. She had previously told me the pastel, although given to her as such, may be something more, as he does not look "typical". He's much, much brighter yellow than most pastels, without a hint of browning out - in fact, he's apparently gotten lighter with age. He also has an almost completely light yellow head and his blushing, rather than being a faded brown/black, is the same bright yellow as the rest of his light parts. Apparently she's previously asked around online and in person at shows and most people were baffled, with a few suggesting super pastel or pastel vanilla. Looking around at pics myself, and not being an expert, it looks to me like he could be a pastel vanilla, super pastel, or even super pastel vanilla, but he isn't an obvious match for any of them. Honestly he might even just be a special line of pastel for all I know like Citrus or Blonde - I'm definitely a beginner at IDing morphs. Just wondering if any of you could lend any insight - even if the judgement is just a normal pastel, that's cool, because the price was cheap and I was helping out a friend, and he'll make a good breeder for my spider female. Although he's several factors brighter than my female pastel, so if nothing else I assume he must be a "good" pastel.

One thing to note, he apparently got burnt on a light in his enclosure by his previous, previous owner, not the woman I bought it from but rather from the person she rescued him from (and he was a rescue, I believe - he'd been in fairly bad conditions beforehand, I believe, although this was years ago). Hence the scarring along the back.

His colors also are more vivid in real life; in some of these pictures he looks lighter, others darker. It's an iPhone, best camera I have, sorry. He's a real lemony yellow.
