Well im new to this whole thing(only been keeping snakes for a few mouths now). So now after geting a norm BP and a cal. king i have decided i wana get a Pastel. Im probly gona pick up a spider sometime down the road also to make some bees. But the reasion im posting, is there are so manny pastels out there and im having a hard time figering out what to look for in a pastel. So any tips on picking out a kick butt pastel would be Uber.

Lots of yellow - no orange as orange turns to brown as they age - those dark yellow brownish speckles that are at the top of his alien heads are not a good sign either - they will become huge brown ugly spots as the snake ages. Also be sure that the snake has shed a few times - all pastels look wicked gorgeous out of the egg - once they've shed out a time or two you'll get a better feel for their color.

Good luck!
