    Is this a super pastel?

    Was looking at a snake that is labeled as a super pastel and I was wondering what you thought about it. I don't have a perfect eye so I was hoping someone could help out.

    By the way it's the one on the right

    Re: Is this a super pastel?

    The picture is far too yellow, which originally made me think it might be a Lemon Pastel, but I think this is an intentional trick by the seller.

    Unless you get a decent pic of it I wouldnt buy it.

    Re: Is this a super pastel?

    I'd say no as well. The head isn't nearly faded enough and there is way too much browning in the pattern for a super. Like was mentioned before as well, the blacks seem too black too.

    No that is NOT a super pastel.

    Now this is a super pastel (top left):

    Notice the heavy fading and lack of brown.

    He didn't claim it came from Corey Woods, that link was given as a representation of a super that Corey has or had

    Re: Is this a super pastel?

    Maybe its just a REALLY bad Camera, but it looks like the guy made the picture yellow like that, so to trick someone into thinking its a super pastel. Look how yellow the spider looks!

    Re: Is this a super pastel?

    since we got this theme and i dont wanted to start a whole thread about it, i have a question.

    is a killerbee a double combo or a tripple combo (i mean does the superpastel count as 1 or 2 morphs)?
