Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You can also check the Snake Keeper's website in the Morphs section under "What make a Morph?"
I think it is generally accepted in Ball Pythons that Pastel is considered Pastel Jungle. It does not come down to laziness or anything else. As far as the other topic on the BOI, once he stated that he was talking about Pastel Balls that cleared up any possible confusion. I dont think too many people were thinking he is talking about a pastel colored Ball such as yours. Also from a question Brian asked of me earlier.... Once their price drops to $400 or $300 or even $100, they will still standout from what is being sold as normals (great variety in normals) and will still earn a higher price tags and have genetics that lead to other very desired morphs (Super Pastel, Killer-Bee, etc...). They will still be referred to as Pastels and when dealing with Balls people will know what to look for.
I also do agree with you Brian that people do look for phenotype. If their is a pattern or color (Red Balls if they were real) that stands out greatly from what is considered normal, they will demand quite a higher price tag. Their is always the possibility that you will be able to prove out a new morph. I would say that probably almost every morph was originally just a beautiful pattern with hopes of genetics. Some people base their decisions off one animal as a pet and they want the best looking snake they can find, at whatever cost, with no hopes of breeding it in the future. One of these days I hope to buy a Boelon's just as a pet with no hopes of breeding it. But then if that is the case you should let the phenotype speak for itself and not add confusion and possible dishonesty by using a name that is generally accepted as a proven morph.
Thanks, Tom Baker

Don't worry I won't use Pastel.
Pastel-wannabe maybe. Right now I call the snake "a piece of $hit," it still won't eat on it's own. But, it's not the first stubborn one I've had, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

I wish you the best of luck. Balls can be really stubborn when it comes to eating. I have kept them for sometime and still have a few that are finicky.
