Did I read right that the snake you traded may or may not have been a female? If so it would serve him right if your snake was a male.
That being said, I love the look of your "female". I would snatch her up in a heartbeat if I saw her for a good price. With her clean reduced pattern and bright gold coloring that girl just begs to be bred to a lesser, a fire, an enchi, a cinnamon, probably even a spider would be good with her. I would not put a pastel to her unless he was just amazingly yellow and blushed like crazy, just just a wee bit too dark to me to make good pastels.
If you don't mind me tooting my own horn a bit, I'd like to show you a bit of what selective breeding can do.
This is my normal female Akashi:
As you can see, she is extremely bright with lots of blushing along her back. So, I knew that when I bred her I wanted a Fire male to add to her traits.
This is my Fire male Osa:
Osa is also very light colored and although he doesn't have a lot of blushing, what he does have looks really good. So I paired them together.
This is the result:
Can you see how, by picking out two snakes that compliment each other so well, the babies can be even better?
I wish you the best with your girl, she's really a good one.
