I ended up getting my pastel from J&J and she's not the most drop dead beautiful snake in the world, but she's got nice yellow on her sides and pretty markings. I actually liked her better because I didn't want a fully yellow lemon one (just a personal preference).

The lady I talked to at J&J was completely nice and sat on the phone with me for about 20 minutes answering all my questions. They didn't try to rip me off on shipping, either, and the actual snake was priced right (in my opinion).

From what I understand, a Pastel is a great morph to start out with because it's a co-dominant trait, so if you get a normal ball to mate with your pastel your chances are 50% of the clutch being pastels and the others being normal.

Just keep in mind if you get a male 100% het for albino for $100, you're going to have to spend twice or more of that to get a female 100% het albino in order to have a chance at actually getting any albinos who show the trait in the way that they look. If they're less than 100% then they have a chance of not having the albino trait at all.

I'm hoping to get a pastel male to breed to my female while I'm in vet school for some extra cash
Same story here. I just took my money elsewhere.
