could this be a pastel ?

[jben]

I would say it's possible that it is a pastel but more likely it is a light normal. I purchased a normal about that color at a show and she eventually darkened up within a few months. My opinion would depend on the weight of the snake...and right now it looks pretty young to me.

So I was thinking some comparison photos might help...

She's not that much larger yet but as you can see a lot of the orange faded.
