    One of my female pastels looked a little rosy when she was a month old.

    Orange on a pastel is an indicator that its going to brown out a lot in the future.

    Re: Orange sides

    I don't like to produce pastels with a lot of orange in them. As stated above - orange turns brown in pastels. When choosing pastels - look for the least amount of orange as possible and the most faded head you can find.

    All of the darker orange yellow coloring will turn brown, it's not a bad looking pastel, but it will brown out...

    I think he looks fantastic! I love his banded pattern. How much does he weigh?

    He's only about 300 grams, he was the snake that convinced my wife to let me keep snakes.

    I like him! Some people are super picky, but he is a great addition as a pet!

    I think he looks good. Remember, even if he does brown out, he'll continue to keep that cool blushing down his dorsal.
