I'm guessing that they are pastels. I seen lately that some people say that pink coloration doesn't always qualify them as pastels. If mine aren't let me know what they are. The last 2 pics is a animal I can never get a good pic of. The animal looks more pink than that. I included 2 pics of another animal taken at the same place to have a comparison. Let me know what you guys think.

Those 2 are knock outs.. But imo with the amount of black in the side diamonds and speckled through I wouldn't classify them as pastels, but imo they look better then most pastels do, the high contrast on the first 2 pictures between body color and darker saddles is awesome..

Your pics are great for comparing two snakes with great color in which one is a pastel and the other likely is not. Pastels have a great reduction of black regardless of the amount of color. Look at the saddles of the snake in the last two pics and notice how the saddles and tail have little to no black. The saddles are brown. The snake in the first 2 pics has great color but black saddles and a black tail. Great looking snakes by the way.
