Food for the thoughts here by breeding a Pastel to a "not too expensive male" what will happen is that you will produce low end animals for which the market is already saturated. That means you could end up with 6 to 12 extra mouth to house and feed indefinitely.
Yes I know you probably don't want to breed for money however your "not too expensive male" will lead to some major expenses if you breed it, incubator, hatchling rack, buying extra feeders or in some cases having to breed your own.
It's gonna be your first snake so don't put the carriage before the horses by already thinking about breeding, breeding means knowing the basics such as genetics, possible outcomes, basic knowledge on the animal you will keep for the first time, breeding, market and much more.
