Hey guys this is my very first thread on this website see i used to be into snakes a while back i had a desert king a hipo honduran milksnake and a redtail boa but got rid of them like 3 years ago but now im back and just picked what i thought was a pastel but the breeder that sold it to me along with my friend that is a breeder said it could be a low grade super pastel so i thought i would post a vid just click the link and see what you guys think notice the blushing on the head also has high orange sides. thanks jake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD4mbgVvaP8 and i know the vid is bad but you can still make out blushing

So one to the form. Than is just a pastel.

One of mine has nice orange now but that will probably turn brown. The main reason I bought her was she had amazing blushing on her head and back. A pastel should usually be nice and yellow.

Both are good combinations. IMO I love anything with the spider gene. I guess it all depends if you want supers pastels or bumblebees.

IMO, it's easier to sell super pastels than bumblebees. Bee's are a dime a dozen and some people are VERY picky about their bees. Not saying you wouldn't sell them, but it might take a little longer. Supers are sought after for the "no normal babies". But in the end, it's up to you! What do YOU want to see pipping it's little head out of the egg? What makes you go "ooooh!"

thank you RosyReps and your very right the only reason im asking is one i heard spiders have the head shake or wobble and 2 pastels are cheaper so if people are looking for supers more ill probably go with 2 pastels for both reasons

When looking for your pastel girl, look for one with bright yellows. Orange tends to brown with age on pastels.
Even if that means waiting and putting up more money, quality makes quality, and quality sells a lot faster than sub par or run of the mill.
