    Hope this helps




    Is it a male or female? How old id the snake?

    To the op neither one of the pics you posted look like an adult super pastel. Just my two cents

    I personally think it looks like a regular pastel. But I can't see it in person and the pictures aren't the greatest.
    Maybe this will help a little....
    So now you can see a picture of a super pastel posted and a pastel
    Here's my pastel(his yellow doesn't show up well in this picture, but if you'd like, I can take some new pictures of him)...

    Thanks a lot to everyone who responded, really appreciate it!

    Turns out the guy selling him had no paperwork or receipt, and didn't seem too willing to let me see him unless I was going to buy him, so I think I'm going to pass on this one.

    Seemed too good to be true and probably was!

    Just wait for the 2011 hatchlings. You can get a female for that price.

    Thanks for the picture, seeing the Super and the regular pastel I'm still not positive on what the one I was thinking of getting is, but I think I'll play it safe if he doesn't have any documentation. And as 'rexrem' said I can probably get a 2011 that's definetely a super for the same price.

    Thanks though!

    Truthfully it could go either way to me. It might be a below average super, or an above average pastel.

    If he has no paperwork, no receipt and won't even let you see the snake before you buy it, now that sounds shady.

    If that were a regular pastel who held it's color like that at 1000+ grams, to many it would be worth the $400-500, even if it is male. If that is a super, it's not nearly as blushed out as most people like their supers, and would not be worth that price to most. So it could go either way. However, anyone who wants you to buy an animal or anything else sight unseen, that is a person to avoid dealing with.

    Best to wait for a really nice hatchling from someone who'll let you see and hold the baby so you know what you are getting.

    I posted pics of my pastels here. And looking at the ones you posted in the op, honestly, they look like regular pastels to me.

    Would definitely ask if he has the receipt and paperwork on it.

    That's really weird and suspicious that he wouldn't even let you see it.....
    I would definitely avoid that person and his "deal"
