    Question my pastel, anything special?

    i hate to put pics here that i already posted, but there in the boa section because someone asked to see more. i got this baby pastel for my gf, but she doesnt show any interest in him. i got him for 65 bucks from a breeder at a reptile show. im not sure why so cheap, everyone else was selling pastels for 100 to 160. it doesnt look like a normal pastel that i always see pics of though. well long story short someone i know whats to trade me his sunglow (what turned out to be just a very colorful albino) redtail boa for it. i just want to make sure im not making a bad decision. just in terms of what each is worth. i have 2 red tails already one pastel and one albino. so does this "pastel bp" look poor, average, or above average. not really sure what its worth basically.

    From the pics you've provided he looks to be somewhat browned out, and for his size usually means a very brown adult. So in that case that makes him a lower quality pastel. But he does have a sorta reduced (not super reduced but not crazy busy either) which could produce some very nice bumblebees with little spotting. So, not the greatest but definitely by far not the worst example of the morph either. Like Mike said though some better pics would certainly help.

    This is the day we got him and my girlfriend took a pick outside and put it on instagram. That's all I have right now. He looks plain like a nromal ball fro the top. That's why I'm guessing he was so cheap. I'm suposed to be rehoming hi in a few hours :-/

    Well I'm more into boas then ball pythons, and I like certain BP morphs but we got this one for her for her first snake and it was cheap but not a normal ball. I know the guy and he wants a pastel bp and wants to trade me his albino rtb for it straight up. At first It was thought his snake was a sunglow but it isn't.

    Take the trade IMO - the pastel is not a terrible example of the morph, but it is on the lower side of things. Albino RTB have higher value, and if that's what you're into, you'll enjoy it more. Win win
