Pastel markings question
Do pastels with "unusual" head markings such as the one in the pic below have any special value/significance, whether by price or genetics?

This is not the actual snake but is the closest one I could find that has similar head markings.
Thanks!

I've never seen pastels with those kind of markings, where the pastern on the side of the head come up onto the crown like that. I have seen similar markings on enchis, sometimes they can be mistaken for each other by less experienced breeders/ owners.. Especially as hatchlings.

Really?
I saw two of them tonight in The Bad Place.
They're very thin and haven't eaten in 3 weeks.
How can I talk The Bad Place into knocking down the price?
If they've been there that long and the guy who works the dept. always warns people they're not eating, they're not likely to sell before they die.
[I know I could get them to eat..."store policy" is stacking the deck against them in every way possible]

ask them if they can adopt them out. i've had a big box store do that for me when it was obvious they had an animal they could not care for.

Too much for even a plain pastel.

Who do I ask?
The general manager is a HORROR and cares nothing for the animals in the store.
"Compassion" isn't her strong suit.

yeah its a little high. Personally I wouldn't pay more than 150 bucks for healthy ones.. Although if it looks like the one in the picture, I don't think its a pastel.. LOL

What would it be, then?
They're both almost "yield sign" bright yellow, unlike their orangey-yellow tank mates.
