I'm not an expert but have a couple of pastels myself. There is an ad in the classifieds selling a Pastel male as a "not the prettiest pastel but still a pastel" for $700. Maybe a bad pic with bad lighting but don't post those pics because people have no choice but to think someone is trying to get over on some poor beginner like myself. This so called pastel looks nothing like my pastels or any that I have seen and I looked at hundreds. Even when I don't take a good pic. Don't mean to knock Exclusively Exotics. Maybe post another more accurate pic. Not trying to rock the boat for a argument but trying to protect someone trying to start a BP project for the first time.

Here is one of the 3 pics they posted. Is it just me? or is this a no brainer?

Definitely a normal.

I noticed the ad earlier today, and was wondering the same thing...

it sure is a nice pic, of a normal. that thing is about as pastal as my left ___ ( fill empty space with whatever word you choose.)
it is a good pic though so it shows what it really is

I agree that is not a pastel ---we have one of the ugliest pastels in the world and it still doesn't look half as normal as that pic

I posted some bad pics of nice pastel below lol. I think they win with the camera. Here again is my no flash lg camera phone with me holding a light so the snake would show up. I think there is a difference.

Compare the pic of a pastels eyes to the normal in the pic. Not to mention the obvious normal colors.
