Pastel or a nice normal?

[rabernet]

Can you get a full body shot in the sun? Still looks like a normal to me.

looks like a pastel to me, but im not an expert... nice snake either way!

How could this have possibly gotten harder.... I swear I see green eyes. That second pic in the sun looks pretty darn green to me. The belly is what's holding me up. The tracks make me wonder just a bit. But the eyes.... She could be a browned out pastel... I can't believe what a debate there is about that girl! Usually it's normal or pastel hands down and very few people disagree. I give up, breed her!

This is all slightly entertaining I really want to say pastel, but obviously I'm no expert. Either way, gorgeous snake.

Stephanie - I have normals that have green eyes. Green eyes don't automatically = pastel.

Really?! Crazy. I definitely give up then!

With so many different opinions on what this snake is, I think only time will tell us the true answer. I will have to breed her out.

She is a long way from 1500 grams. Is it possible she could make that weight by December 2011?

I'm about 1000% percent sure you have a Pastel, hands down, no questions asked. I'm sorry but all of you guys who think it looks like a Normal need to go get your eyes checked...

Looks like a normal to me too, though a very nice looking one.

I'm still not positive either way.

I've seen really yellow normals before that looked remarkably like her, but I've also seen some pastels, what I consider low quality, that look like her.

The only hesitation I have is most low quality pastels at her age have a lot of orange to them, I don't think I've seen a browned out pastel her size that had no orange. That is another thing that makes me lean more towards normal. For her markings to be that browned out I mean, she should have more of an orange base color to her markings, not yellow. If she were bigger and older I'd say browned out pastel, but as young and small as she is, I just don't remember seeing a pastel that brown that didn't also carry the orange color to the markings.

I guess you'll just have to wait and see how she grows. Perhaps as she gets bigger, she'll change and make it easier to tell.
