Black Pastel Lines

[Pollard89]

I was just wondering if any one out there knows how many different lines of black pastel there are, any information or pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Im not aware of any...?

I have heard of the VPI Satin line and the Graziani line, I was just curious to know if any other breeders had produced their own line?

Outback reptiles has a nice line, LadyOhhh on here has her own line I believe, and Gary Liesen has a very nice line - probably my favorite of them all.

Just curious, how does one start their own "line" of black pastels? (or any morph)

Is it when they have imported a morph from Africa that looks like a different-looking black pastel and which proves out to be genetic?

Pretty Much.

Basically if you can prove something genetic and it's unrelated (at least not known to be related) to another similar morph, you can name the morph (if it's new) and the line.

There's also the Ian G line

I had no idea there were so many different lines of black pastels =o

Don't think there's a Graziani line.......

And Tom Barnhart's line of BP rocks!!

I feel like Liesen's line are the best, its the kind I want to get one day

I herd Ian G line black pastels are better if your going for the super form. stops "duck billing"
