Really weird Black Pastel or something else?

For some reason I can't quote your post, so I'll just say it.

I honestly wouldn't take the word of the guy you bought it from as I think he's just lying to you. I think he's just telling you what you want to hear, and unless he actually shows you the paperwork I'd take what he says with a grain of salt. Now I could be wrong, and I've gone by this saying for a long time: "Believe nothing you hear, and half of what you see." He would remember who he got the snake from and even he has a lot of snake one would presume he has experience and he had enough since to know it wasn't a Black Pastel.

You can hope if you want, but I honestly wouldn't get your hopes up. I'm willing to bet he doesn't produce that paperwork. Now it's a nice snake and all but I've learned from experience that if you give a stranger a chance to get over on you, then they usually will.

Would they want to hear that it is a black pastel or that it's a weird unknown dinker? Nothing against black pastels but I'd be more interested in the possibility it's something else. Doesn't sound like it's happening this time as the claim is it is a black pastel but I may have seen cases where weird captive bred are represented as imports to up their dinker status.

It's not a ton of money, line breed it and see what comes out. A good shot of the back of the head might help me tell if it's chocolate or not.

NO, I meant the part about the papers and what not.
