I would still like to see a real belly shot to confirm. I don't see how everyone jumped on the "definite pastel" bandwagon after seeing two pics of the snake deep in shed and in blue so you can't even see the eye color.
I'm not saying that it's NOT a pastel, I'm just saying that I would be hesitant to claim 100% certainty from those pics... A pastel's belly should be clean and white without any of the dark squiggly marks that you often see in normals... Note how the belly scales are pure white? That's what you want to look for...
