    Axanthic?

    So, I am out cruising the local reptile stores yesterday and I came across this. It was being sold as a pastel but it looked kind of "funky" to me. My daughter wanted it. I figured worst case scenario I could make some albinos with her so I gave in to my daughter. I will preface my possible stupidity with the fact that I am a little color blind which is why I try to stick to trying to make BELS and albinos. When I got this girl out into natural light I could find zero yellow on the animal. She is pure white where a pastel would normally show at least some yellow even to my vision impaired eyes. I don't see any browns either. World's ugliest Pastel or Pastel Axanthic? In any case I now have another animal with a Disney name. This one is Snow White. Uhg. Thanks for any help guys.

    Don't know the type of morph, but what a great photo, very beautiful!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Could just be me but it looks like a regular pastel to me.

    I will go with a browned out pastel. There are shades of brown visible especially laterally. Your daughter is a doll! LOL.

    Thank you, I should know better than to buy pastels without my wife around. Don't know exactly what to do with it now but my daughter is happy.

    pastel for sure. Axanthic is much more on the "gray scale" (black and white) side of things.
