    Pastel quality genetics

    I have a young female pastel that I am debating on keeping. I find myself thinking that she is something special or will make super awesome babies. To me she has a very clean (not many spots in her alien heads) pattern and great color and blushing. If I keep her she would be bred to my pastel enchi.
    Would the females lack of spots in her alien heads be passed on and help the enchi? Some super pastel enchi, well most that I've seen, have the busy pastel pattern and look less enchi. Would I get better looking super pastel enchi babies from her, or would I get the same results if I got a pastel butter female. (Obviously she would add the chance of butter) but how do I know the quality of her pastel?

    This is the female in debating on keeping

    If you want clean Patel Enchi this female will definitely help, pairing your snake carefully by choosing quality mutation will pay of.

    Awesome. Then I guess that's settled, she will stay with me.

    This is her future boyfriend, pastel enchi

    I'm hoping for some really nice clean super pastel enchi from them.

    Just out of curiosity, how do I tell the quality of pastel in say a pastel lesser, or pastel butter? I know once upon a time pastels were lemon pastel or graziani line or citrus pastel. Seems when they get bred to another they lose their specialness.

    those 2 snakes are very nice for their reduce pattern but not for the pastel quality, i think they will be very brown adult.

    Oh... Could it be my photos ?


    Or cause of their "brown out" lines are so low already?
