Pastel Progression, Come Share

[SlitherinSisters]

I just wanted to throw out this addition to this thread--this is one of Stephanie's babies, possibly by the "ugly" male she mentions above. She's about 100 grams here and in shed (obviously), but I thought I'd just add it to the image bank. I cannot WAIT to see how she's doing once this shed is done, her head already looks much brighter than the rest of her (I just got her several days ago and haven't seen her not in shed yet...it's like waiting to open a gift!).

She is one of his daughters I'm excited that she's shedding for you! I can't wait till you see her once she's done shedding!

I know! I was shocked when I lifted up the hide and saw a big piece of skin sticking out from her head! I really didn't expect it until next week. This is a very good sign. She's spending nearly all her time in her hides and I think overall things are going very well.

Thanks everyone so far, keep them coming!

I don't have pics of any of my pastels from when they were hatchlings.

I got my 1.1 Pastel het axanthic pair when they were around 700 grams. They are low quality but this is my female. I am trying to squeeze axanthics out of them this year and then they will unfortunately not be with me anymore. They are too low quality for me to keep as breeding stock.

800 grams - 2 years old (Bought her from someone who fed them ASF, still on ASF but I got them switched to F/T ASF so that I could afford to feed them)


1300 grams - 2 1/2 - 3 years old


2500 grams - 4 years old

Oh I forgot to mention I don't have a pic of her as a baby but this is her offspring.

Just wanted to say that as I new pastel owner--and an owner of a very young one at that--I LOVE this thread. I really wish there were some sort of database of individual snakes' progression documented over their lifetimes, categorized by morph. I imagine more insight into gene behavior might be had by such a database.

This is Sarabi, my NERD line lemon pastel.
First pic is the night wepicked her up, she was about 105g, I believe. Not the best pic. The second one is from last week. Just coming up on 300g.
I'm in love with her yellows.

I don't have any baby pictures of my pastel. My husband got him about 2 months ago. Here is what he looked like the day he brought him home. According to his previous owner he is about 2 and a half years old. I will try getting some new pictures of him after he goes through his shed.

Got my 2012 pastel out for some pictures for someone and thought I'd throw in some progression shots of her. Most of the pictures are with other snakes for comparison and taken under similar light settings(outside, natural light, overcast, no flash).

Her with some pastel clutchmates, she's the snake on the left. This was probably first or second shed so they're right around 100g here:


This picture was probably taken the same day but it's a solo shot:


With her firefly brother, around 400-600g I'm guessin:


With her mamma at around the same size as above:


Again with firefly brother taken today, they're both just under 1000g now:
