It isn't harsh criticism at all. I didn't day low quality pastel. I said run of the mill pastel. The top half of it's body is browner out already. I was making an observation which is obvious.
If it makes you feel better, one thing the new one has on the sire is much more blushing.. But there isn't anything "going on" with them. They can throw different colors and patterns every year or with every different dam they are put with. That's the beauty of snake patterns.
They aren't ugly or bad looking in any way. I'm just saying don't get your hopes up on anything special going on. There really are TONs of variation in pastels.
Look through as many images as you can on google and bing of pastel ball pythons and hatchling pastel ball pythons. You'll see.
