100% Normal...Not a Pastel. To me, even the lowest quality Pastel is very easy to pick out. You'll get an eye for it eventually.
People like to try to make black and white rules for IDing morphs. In my opinion, most morphs aren't that simple. It usually comes down to a general "look" that each morph has. And to me, it's very hard to explain something that is so fluid and variable.
Either way...Nice snake!
