Your opinion identifying her please ?

[Binoo]

I purchased (off Kijiji) what was claimed to be a female pastel BP.(My first snake)
It was purchased December 2011 and we were told it was 1 year old at that time. When he got her home and weighed her, she was just over 300 grams.
Her head was much larger (in proportion) to her body. Today she weighs just over 1500 grams and eats great.... no problems at all.
My question is.... Is she really a pastel ???
I've had a few people say no, but nobody can even guess what she is.
Just throwing it out here to see what you guys think.
Much appreciated.

She's a normal. Sorry

Not the best lighting but I'm gonna say normal. I've been wrong before though.

Thanks, a normal has been ruled out by a professional breeder ..hes thinking either yellow belly, vanilla or a few other possibilities. i was told to breed with my pastel to see the offspring. i know the lighting is bad i will try and take better pics. thanks again.

A professional breeder told you she could be a yellow belly? A professional breeder would know she doesn't even kinda look like yb. I don't see vanilla either. I only see normal.

I see a normal. No pastel, vanilla or yellow belly. Very healthy girl!

I'm not trying to offend, but I would question the "professional" breeder. Not only does it not look anything other than standard normal, even subtle yellow bellies and vanilla looks pretty different. My suggestion is to get on google image search and you will see she is nothing more than normal. You're not the first person to get told their snake was something it was not, in fact you're far from it.

thanks... he didnt say she was yb or vanilla..he said the full white belly, the longer than usual striping on her back and the high blushing with the alien head patterning are characteristics of these other snakes, and others. I don't mean to offend any pros out there, i only meant to state that it wasn't myself trying to identify her. she kinda does look norm in the pics but if you could see her, especially beside a normal, the difference is apparent. my friend said if she is normal, she's the most unusual one he's ever seen. thanks for the input everyone!

She's a very pretty normal, her and your pastel male should make some nice babies.
