head fade is a pastel trait?

[A.VinczeBPs]

Completely normal, nothing special at all from what I see.
Sorry to say, but a lot of normals look neat, and discoloration of patches of scales is often not genetic.

Yeah hes right unfortunately...

Some do, some don't. Its usually a pretty drastic thing, but even then it doesn't mean anything. Almost has some calico action going up the sides lol

NOT a pastel for sure.
I wonder why a lot of 'normal' owners aren't ever happy with just owning a normal and need to 'upgrade' it?
What makes normals so neat is the HUGE amount of variation in colour and pattern.

I agree - Normals rock! I've seen coloration like that happen through sheds - some maintain that it may be a nutritional deficit of some sort.

Have you had this animal its entire life?

The only way to "prove" that it's more than a normal is to breed it and see if you can reproduce the look. But it's not a pastel by any stretch of the imagination.

When in doubt, eye colour. Yours looks like a very cool normal.

I hear you. I adore my little normal gal, she's LOVELY, super great awesome markings. She looks at once like the most common of normals yet she's different from them all...unique and the same the way snowflakes are. If that makes sense?

What does eye color prove? I've got normals that have green eyes. There's more than just head fade or eye color that makes a pastel a pastel.

AMEN people need to stop looking for stuff that isnt there just so they can say they have something other than a normal. (not particularly directed at the op, just in general. theres waaaaay too many threads like that)

but if it doesn't have green eyes then its not a pastel and debate ends there.

to everyone who's posted on my thread.

thank you for your opinoins!!!

i dont think is a pastel, i dont care to upgrade her.

i want someone to prove to me that there are more like her and
what, if any, is going on.

i love my girl no matter what and am not out to prove some kind of hidden gene.

hell if she passes down a color change thing through life thats awesome.

either way i dont care. but i honestly have not seen another normal with such an odd look to em.

if you have show me!!! i want to see because i want to know that its not just big brother telling me im wrong for the sake of feeling bigger.

by the way her eyes are light gray and no i took her in at about 1yr 3 mnths.
