My guess is pastel on the third.

I agree, pastel. That normal looks like it may be a genetic stripe. Cool trio.

I agree with the pastel, the other one looks like a normal though.

The pattern doesn't look reduced enough in my opinion.
Genetic stripe is a recessive gene causing a narrow but solid dorsal stripe from head to tail. It pretty much wipes out all the pattern. The snake in the first picture has an incomplete broad stripe with separated flames. The appearamce is more than likely a variability.

The only way to tell for sure would be to breed it out and see if it can passed down.
