    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

IM looking for info on a pastel ball Python
how would i tell the different from a sibling of a pastel and a true pastel
 
When they hatch out you will know without a doubt which babies are pastels. They are very light when they hatch and look nothing like the normal colored sibling.

This is a small pastel with a darker baby.

Al,
Tell me a little more about the Pastels.I have a male WC that looks as good as some of the pastels being offered.But I have heard that all pastels have a realy clean belly?Is that true or just talk?I will try and get some good pics of him and see what ya'll think.He isnt just an awesome looking snake but he looks as good as some of the low grade pastels I have seen
 
To the best of my knowledge, EVERY pastel has a clean white belly. I haven't seen one yet that has had any pattern on its belly.

Who did you purchase the animal from and was it sold to you as a pastel?

That looks to be a high gold normal.

Pastels have gold eyes...I do have an adult female pastel that has Green eyes...gorgeous. But most pastels have gold eyes and a very faded head.

Looking at the pics, that looks to be a normal. A very good looking one though.

Good luck.
