    I need help with my bps Morph

    I purchased this 2012 male Ball Python when he was a new baby from a breeder -

    Anyone that's experienced can you give me your opinion on his morph- I know what I was told but I've done research and pastels seem a little more brighter I know he's not a super ... I bought my sister a normal and she seems lighter then mine -

    Clear belly, brown out line, bit of head blushing. Looks pastel to me, just on the dark side.

    I can't really tell from your pics. Does your snake have green eyes? If so it is a pastel. If not it is just a normal. Either way it is a nice looking snake

    That's definitely a pastel, but it's not a particularly bright specimen. Really, "bright" rarely applies when talking about single-gene pastels, although I have seen some rare individuals who maintain some brighter coloration. Pastels run the gamut from moderately yellow to almost plain brown of varying shades. It's quite possible for a "normal" to look lighter than your pastel. As babies, they are a lot more colorful and that is where the term "pastel" comes from....it's more reflective of their baby colors than how they usually look as mature animals.

    Looks like a pastel with some stuck shed....soak him in some warm water and help him out with that shed.
