normal?

groomingdiva May 15, 2010 08:17 PM

I got this little guy today. He is a captive hatch. I didn't know if maybe he was a pastel. His color on his back is very gold and then it goes into an orange then pink. His belly is patternless. What I thought was weird is the top 1/2 of his eyes are light colored. I couldn't get him to hold still long enough to get a good shot.

Could you get us a shot of his eyes? That would be a good tell of whether he is a Pastel or not.

I would say he is a really nice normal.

I would try to compare him to an enchi maybe even fire? I have captive hatch babies that look like that more yellow up the sides but they dont all have that. I just proved one out to be an enchi.

Photo to me looks off for a pastel in color but it is odd enough that I could easily see that as more than just a normal. Nice looking snake, show it again once it's 400 grms or so and it will be easier to see how it's turning out then! Not a Pastel to me that I'm pretty sure about...
