Pastel Ball Python Yes, No, Somewhat?

[mello_newf]

Hey all,

First time ball python owner and poster! Been lurking the site hard the last few weeks but I had a question and would love if a experienced breeder would help me out.

So this is my BP Creamer.... is he a pastel, normal, or something else? Any insight is greatly appreciated might breed him at some point so I want to know exactly what im dealing with to help control what I get from the offspring.

-Age = 2-3 years
-Shed = 1 week before pics were taken
-Sold to me as a pastel
- eyes, belly, and pattern look good to me but he seems dark?
