Is this a pastel motley?

Unfortunatly there can be some confusion about what exactly a pastel motley is. Some say an anery motley with pastel coloring is a pastel motley (like VMSherp). I know Don S. refers (or at least he used to) to all ghost motleys as pastel motleys whether they had pastel coloring or not. And even others say it has to be a ghost motley with pastel coloring.
I prefer not to use the term at all, or to use it after the correct name. Like if I had a nicely pastel colored ghost motley, I'd label it as a ghost motley with pastel coloring. But everyone has thier own way, so the best thing to do is ask the seller exactly what he/she defines as a pastel motley. Jim is a decent guy(at least in my dealings with him), I'd just drop him an email and ask him. The snakes I got from him are doing great and growing fast.
The snake in the pic is either an anery motley or a ghost, it is kind of on the border where it could be either one. As far as the pastel coloring, that wouln't show up until the corn was around a year or two in age, so if that was what you were looking for, I'd ask for pics of the parents.
Hope that helps.

I'm talkin' to YOU.
I have to agree with Carol... the term 'pastel motley' has been used to describe several varieties of cornsnake.
Some use it to describe Anery motleys. Some (like Don S.) use it to describe ghost motleys. Still others use it to describe pinkish ghost motleys only (though I've been told that only males ever show the pinkish coloration).
Your best bet is to ask the breeder what the genetic makeup of the snake is.
