    Advice Please

    A friend of mine went to a reptile show in March and purchased what she was told was a lesser for her son as a pet. She got the python home and it had a bad woble. She called the breeder and he told her that he didn't sell a lesser he sold a spider. She explained that the spider had to bad a wobble and was not good for a child's starter snake. The breeder agreed to exchange the spider for a different snake. This month she went to the show and the breeder exchanged the spider for what she is saying is an Enchi Pastel. She sent me these pics. It does not look like an Enchi Pastel to me. Did my friend receive a second mislabeled snake from the same breeder?

    either that's terrible lighting or there's no way that's an enchi pastel.
    do you have more pics for confirmation?

    exactly. that snake is definitely waaaaay too dark to be any type of pastel. i'm sorry, but they might have been double duped.
    if they know the seller i would highly recommend they post to the Fauna Classifieds BOI (on mobile sorry no link). for them to be tricked twice is inexcusable.

    i'd contact the seller IMMEDIATELY and demand an explanation and a refund.

    I would believe low-quality enchi in shed based on the pics. Not an enchi pastel, I have one and she is much brighter even in shed.

    i'm not the best eyeball morph-identifyer but that looks normal to me (hopefully someone else chimes in), at least there's no way that's a pastel. please tell them to contact the seller and demand a refund. i would not to business with them again, and post on the BOI.

    Re: Advice Please

    I'm leaning more towards a low quality enchi as well but it's really hard to tell from those pics
