Green eyes, all pastels have very pretty bright green eyes

Never heard of a market pastel or normal. A normal pastel will have yellow throughout the sides, depending on the line of pastel will determine how much yellow. A regular everyday pastel normally "browns out" when they get older, some worse than others. Even with them browning out you can still tell the difference between them and a normal. Here is a pic of a regular pastel at 300 grams.

Sorry meant to write "marketed" or advertised as a Pastel.I got one yesterday that is 2176grams.I'm sure it's a female and for $50 I didn't care if it was a normal but they advertised it as a pastle.I will try to get some pics up later today.

Chances are if you got it for 50 bucks its either a normal or a male.

The belly will be clearer on a pastel, but this is not always an indicator.

as do many normals.. so this does not help determine.


Basically, if it is such a crappy pastel that you think it is a normal.. just keep looking.. LOL


but normals are "brown" where as pastels are more yellow. they usually have clear bellies (which is common in normals) and green eyes (also found in normals)

The green eyes in pastels are nothing like any normal I've seen?
It can't be a pastel without green eyes was more my point

my point is that if you are trying to determine.. then having green eyes does not help.
