How many kind of pastel are there right now? They have lemon pastel, black pastel, jungle pastel etc... are they all the same? please help me with this confusion, and how much does one cost..

If it's yellow, it's a pastel, or I believe it is also referred to as a 'pastel jungle'. these are your run of the mill, most commonly seen yellow and black little snakes. Males I've seen as low as $100, females usually at least $200.
Lemon pastel, enchi pastel, etc, are similar variations on the trait. Lemon pastels tend to be a brighter yellow, and enchis provide a more stonewashed appearance.

Black pastels and Cinnamons are two lines of a similar trait. They are a funky pattern and the 'super', or homozygous form, of the trait is an entirely black snake.

A jungle, or jungle pastel, is an aberrant pattern that is not inherited, it just pops up in clutches sometimes.

I can't think of any other pastels, but different names in front of the word 'pastel' usually means it is just a different line, rather than an entirely different morph.

- Anna Sewell (1820-1878)

In the beginning there was Graziani and his little yellow import and he saw that it was good. Then he bred his little yellow import and produced eggs and he saw that it was good. Then the eggs hatched and there were more little yellow snakes and he saw that it was good. Then he took them to a reptile show where he came upon Satan and Satan had also seen that it was good and he had some too and he called them jungle pastels and they agreed it was good.

Or something like that.

It wasn't until more people got their imports and wanted their own "line" that the other names started coming into play - and then we got lazy and dropped the "jungle" from the pastel.

But a pastel is a pastel be it a blonde, a lemon or a jungle, etc.

However Enchis, Cinny, Black pastels are a different animal.
