Lookie what I found...

......at the newer pet supplies plus. Even if she turns out to be normal she's awesome. Can't beat $65 lol

I would say it's most likely just a normal but it's got some really nice blushing and flames. I got a pastel from that store when it was still on Kingston Pk last year, though. It was mixed in with a tank labeled "normal females" and when I popped it, it looked like a female. Unfortunately it turned out to be a male pastel and he has browned out quite a bit as a young adult, but he's a pastel nonetheless. Never know what you'll find in there.

Yeah, I read the thread on your pastel pickup lol I pop in all the LFS/LPS around looking for the oddballs, fish or reptiles. It pays off a lot of the time. A local store recently labeled a pinstripe as a spider, petco had a spider in with their normals (popped male lol), and I picked up a few rarer cryptoheros cichlids out of a bunch of convicts/

The general consensus on ball-pythons. net is normal as well. I still think something's up but I'll have to wait to prove her. Some of the flames are just too extreme, going from her belly to her spine, I hope it's genetic at least. Unfortunately if it is genetic and I cross her with my pastel, the pastels will look like yellowbelly pastels anyway...so I need something else to prove her with

Definitely worth a dinker project. If crossed with a pastel the combo may look a little like a yellow belly in pattern but without the belly checkers it shouldn't be mistaken for a yellow belly. I'd say go for it!
