It's really hard to say for sure without knowing the genetics. If I had to guess I would agree with the breeder calling him a lemon because of the neck stripe. It's not solid, but they aren't all solid. He doesn't really have blushing if you were thinking Graziani.
Here is my lemon, his sire came directly from NERD.

Here is my graziani, notice the blushing is the 'burnouts' on her spine.
Don't worry about getting jumped. It's a perfectly fine question to ask. Some people are just touchieMost breeders would tell you honestly what line of pastel they are working with. In my case, I really don't know what will happen when I breed those two together. I will just have to tell people they are lemonxgraziani pastel babies and leave it at that. Some people say I will be able to tell what the babies are lemon or granziani, and other say they will mix. I'm not sure anyone knows definitively. I've also been told that the lines have been so intermixed already by people breeding double/triple morph snakes with pastel that they don't know what line of pastel/s they are mixing and those pastels get thrown in the mix with everything else.
Whatever he is he's very pretty!!!
