    get it popped, it's easy on a snake of that size way more accurate than a pet store employee probing. NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS trust a pet store employee, even if they claim to have/breed their own. sure, there are some out there that know their stuff, but they are so few and far between it's better to be skeptical.

    Re: Pastel?

    Yup.. normal, but a very nice pattern. Don't doubt people.. there are normals that look like pastels but lack the eyes and the coloration all together. I have a beautiful yellow pastel. (Profile pic) And a heavily browned out pastel who is lightning, but none the less there pastels. Either way you got a good buy it seems.

    Left this out.. don't trust sex when you hear it from someone who you don't know for a fact they breed BP's.

    Re: Pastel?

    Thanks for the compliments on his/her (i still think it's a her) pattern, I agree that it is very pretty and it still seems like a great buy.

    I'm pretty sure he did the "popping" style of sexing. It's where you see the pinkish inside right? I mean it looked like a girl, but I'm not an expert on snakes.

    Where would I go to get her sexed? I don't really want to pay a bunch of money, but now I'm just so darn curious!

    A boy looks like a girl too if you don't do it right or apply enough pressure. Little pink/red shreck ears popping out on either side would confirm a male.

    I'd try calling some non-chain local petstores, see if you can find some that know how to pop for a confirmed sexing. You could also check with some local vets to see if any have snake experience. A general check and fecal(never a bad idea) would probably only run you around $50..

    One of the cleanest normals I've ever seen! I wish my girl was like that. Yours will be smoking as 'she' grows.

    Is there a reptile place you can take her? Most privately owned places will sex free. Going to a vet may require an office visit fee. They may do it for free too since its such a short/minor ordeal. My vet takes dogs who need ticks removed for free. I find that more time consuming than sexing. Maybe give them a call to ask?

    Very nice normal! The colors and pattern are both very unique Popping at that age isn't too hard, I learned from watching youtube videos and confirming with my breeder friend how to do it. I still always feel like I'm gonna hurt it, but I've confirmed a few males/females in my collection from learning to do it myself

    Thank you very much! And yes I'm going to try to find a place ASAP, whether it be a local petstore or vet. It would be great to know that way if she/he has offspring, maybe 'her' clean pattern will show up again or if bred with a different pattern, maybe make another really clean dom/co-dom.

    X6? Its not a pastel but VERY pretty normal. I would also get it sexed by an experienced vet. If it were a pastel it would have blushing on the black on top, have a clear belly and yellow on the sides. Here is what mine looks like:

    1.0 Pastel
