Nevermind that, here goes:

He is supposed to be a pastel, but he looks pretty normal to me. Doesn't matter, he is pretty and I love him. He is much bigger now, but I broke my camera after a few days of owning it (nothing serious just waiting on a part) so I'll get better pictures later.

He only eats live mice. I've tried frozen/thawed no luck. I've tried live rat no luck. I'll continue to try frozen/thawed, haven't given up yet.

Sweet, is he a pastel or a really bright normal?? He's a little hottie either way! And great pictures, he looks like he's loving that hide

Don't give up on the f/t. Some snakes just get set on a certain prey type though. I know people who have 3-4 year old snakes that are only 7-800g because they refuse to eat anything but mice. It's best to try to get him on rats early. Good luck and yeah he is very pretty

The guy that sold it to me told me he is a pastel. At the time I didn't know what that meant. I went to the expo with the intentions of bringing back one snake (a king snake) and came home with two. I was with my kids and they kept pointing to the ball pythons and saying they want one of those. So I asked a couple of friends of mine that were with me at the expo about the care required and it was fine. I'm really experienced with reptiles in general. We looked up and down the aisles and stopped at many tables, but this was the ball my kids liked best. I asked the price and the guy told me he was $100 and a pastel. I had no idea about morphs and such and the high prices they bring. I think it is funny that my kids picked an inexpensive morph based only on aesthetics. I am glad that they didn't ask for a mohave or bee as when it comes time to picking out one of the more expensive morphs I want to have a good idea of what I am looking for. I want to get a female for him. But I'm not sure what. I really like mohaves alot.

He has grown so much since I got him, it really surprises me. I will post more pictures when I get my camera working again.

He has a lot of ORANGE on him, so I suspect he is a pastel, just not very bright for pastel. He has the color of orange sherbet on him. Very pretty. He has a great personality to and seems to enjoy being with me. I guess I'm nice and warm. LOL

Hi,

Well looking at his nose and the top of his head I would say he is a pastel alright.

I also think he looks cute as a button peeking out of that hide.

Next time your taking pics if you get a nice belly shot and a good pattern shot I'd like to see them.

Thanks for asking. I'd really like to know if he is a pastel for when it comes time to breeding him and buying a mate which might happen in a week from Sunday. Here you go...

The kid holding the snake is my youngest son. He looked at well over a hundred balls and picked this one I don't know why. When I told him I didn't want to get the snake without preparing for its arrival first, he started to cry. He really wanted THIS snake. I had and extra couple of heating pads and various size enclosures at home anyway, so I said OK. The orange coloring on his side doesn't show up very well in the pictures and he's due for a shed. So... pastel or normal?????????
