The term pastel is misleading at times. Pastel is NOT a morph! It is a selective bred trait that may or may not be in the offspring. Pastelism is just a reduction of black in most animals and can also mean a yellow wash. The grading system Alex uses is used throughout eh herp business. That ratingis for a really nice snake. anex is a great guy to work with and I gurantee you wuold not be dissapointed in the animal when you saw it in person. Hoep this helps,
