I am supposed to be loaning out my male pastel to my husband's co-worker. The co-worker said his female was a pastel and its her first breeding season. He's never bred her before. I asked for pictures and sure enough, he has a normal. He says she keeps getting lighter with every shed, but from the pictures, she looks like a really nice normal. So I guess that changes things. I will still loan out my male though, but he won't be getting any supers.
