    What do you think, is it a normal or super pastel?

    Hello everyone! I picked up this boy at the NARBC show in Arlington TX from VPI, and am wondering what you all think, is it a regular or super pastel? The reason I ask is, this one was mixed in with the normal pastels which were much darker then him, and when Tracy picked him up for me to buy, she said "I think this one might be a super that accidentally got mixed up with the normals". Anyway she sold him to me at a normals price of $250. So take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

    Although that would be EXTREME generosity, IMHO that is definitely a super!!! So Jealous

    Even if it wasn't a super, can you imagine the supers it could produce?!?!

    Looks super to me. It may have been an oversight on their part as they said and were just giving you a deal.

    Thanks for all of the input! I will be breding him to my butter female, and if I get half pastel butters and half pastels, then I'll know for sure. Ether way he is beautiful, and I highly recommend doing business with VPI, they are great people and have outstanding animals.

    Re: What do you think, is it a normal or super pastel?

    Hmm. It is either a very nice pastel, or a super, but not a super nice super. I'd expect VPI to have very nice pastels, so that part does not surprise me.

    It is possible it was in with the regular pastels, because it came from a breeding that had no chance of producing a super, therefore, no matter how "super" it looked, it was the het form of pastel.

    In some ways, if it were my snake, I'd be hoping it WASN'T a super. If he looks that good as a regular pastel, imagine the supers he'll be able to produce!

    As you said, you'll find out for sure when you breed him.
