What do you think?

[Morphie]

The yellow is exceptionally bright, but there's some browning at the edges.

Yep I know what you mean - In fact that was the only critique i had of him when i was looking at him: the brown is already quite brown, and he's still practically a hatchling.

On the other hand (i told myself, when deciding if i needed him ) the brown has some odd character: it's not just the dullness that hangs out at the top of so many pastels' alien heads, it's a spotty, unfading sort of brown that looks... i dunno... calico-ey? or something? Aside of that, looking at his yellow plus that intense blushing and kind-of odd pattern just made him irresistible.

I very much look forward to seeing how he matures...

Thanks for the feedback guys - glad i'm not just crazy lol

Do you have another grown up picture of this one. Honestly they don't look like the same animal to me due to differences in the pattern. The Pattern on the neck first on the baby it does not close at the back of the head and on the adult it does. Second is the stripe on the tail, if you look at the adult it goes way up the body and on the baby it does not. I could be wrong and appologize if I am, but it doesn't look like the same animal to me. Just my Honest opinion.

I think he will be a very nice guy !

last year I bought a cute little Lemon-Pastel.
At home I doubt and talked to Kevin.
He said:"...no way, this is no Lemmon. That orange will turn into brown...."
Look at him:
last year



I love his head-pattern and his blushings



and

now at about 850g



I plan to breed him with my Mojave female some day

Looks like the same animal to me. It's just that the photo angles and coil twists are so different from one set of photos to another. And I don't see a "tail stripe" in any of the pics. Not sure what you're comparing there.

Very cool looking pastel, Morphie! Congrats!

The tail stripe is the stripe on the adult that is on the spine from the tail going up the back. The tail is actually quite clear if you look at the direction of the scales you can see the tail is the part of the snake right below the big bend in the neck. The other think I was looking at is the Pattern right behind the head. On the little one you have a dot then what looks like a horse shoe then on the adult you have the dot but NO horse shoe. I am not saying it is definately not the same snake just Patterns don't tend to change and the patterns don't match in my honest opinion. I could be wrong and have been before not afraid to admit that. I just would like more pics for comparison.

It is a BEAUTIFUL snake either way!

I see what you're saying.

I see it too...good eyes. Look at the black at the back of the head, the one snake has a "tab" coming off of it and the other one doesn't?

Not a problem Fastdad, I just wanted to see the extra pics because I was pretty sure they were different snakes due to the pattern differences.

Thank you for posting the extra pics of both animals. They have both grown to become beautiful animals!

[Morphie]

wow two of them! They're both amazing!
