Keep in mind that snake is probally 2years+. We all know how pastel can start out as screamers and end up browning out. The lesser gene keeps them from really browning out but they do have a duller look to them than when they hatch. My Lesser pastel was the best looking one I had ever laid eyes on when It was a juvie. Now that its nearly 3 years old it looks very similar to that snake. I wouldnt call it a bad example just an older animal.
