Is this a normal pastel???

Normal and pastels are different morphs. And that looks like a normal of a really really low quality pastel... I would say normal though.

He looks like he is in shed, but he looks like a low quality pastel to me.

That is a pastel. Just a low quality one.

OK Newbie question!!! How do you tell the difference between a low quality pastel and a good quality pastel? I am scared to ask what my guy is classed as ( although perfect in my eyes) [IMG][/IMG]

Pastels are supposed to be yellow but many lose the yellows and turn brown.
Those are the lower quality ones.

One thing people don't really seem to look for is the kind of yellow as a baby. What I mean by that is generally (I say generally because there are always exceptions) the more orange or dark yellow the baby pastel is, the more it will brown as it ages. This also works for combos with pastel. The lighter the yellow, the less the snake will brown. People always tend to be drawn to very deep yellow babies which look great now, but down the road it can be tough to tell them from from normals. If you pick a light yellow baby, you are more likely to end up with something like this:
1700g female

Easily distinguishable from a normal

Here's another clear difference between the yellow of a pastel and the brown of a spider: Take note, this was taken while the pastel's eyes were blue (about to shed). Her dorsal color brightens after shed.
