My original male pastel tends to produce some pretty interesting normals and super bright pastels. The normals are normally brighter than your regular normals and have a pretty decent banding pattern with light spots on the head. The first pic is of 2 females that are being bred back to my original male pastel with an 08 male to show how similar they look.
And this shows some of the pastels that he's produced as well as the normals. Of course the cell phone pics don't show the color all that great but if you saw them in person you'd know what I'm saying. He's still really bright at 6 years old but he was in shed so I didn't put him in with these. The pastels are really bright...don't seem to inherit the banding too much but its crazy how bright some of them are especially the one in the middle.
I'm not saying its anything crazy or proven genetic yet which is why I really haven't talked about it much but I'm hoping these few girls take for me and I can prove something out! I'm trying to get a new camera but money seems to disappear too quick around here!
