    I've never heard of a special before, but a pastel yellowbelly is just that, a yellowbelly that is also a pastel. Yellowbelly lemonblast is a yellowbelly, pinstripe, and a pastel. Lemonblast is a pinstripe and a pastel.

    isnt a special simply a bp with unique patterns, then those patterns are transfered to the new snake thus adding the special gene, thus making them unique and worth more? thats what i was told.

    Snakes with interesting patterns can be considered dinkers and if it is transferred to the offspring the dinker is considered genetic and the breeder usually gives it a special name. I don't think Special is a morph though. Not one that I've seen anyway. Maybe they are saying it has an interesting pattern and therefore it is "special" but unless you see pics of the parents to prove it is genetic, I would just consider it a dinker.

    The special is a co-dominant gene.

    I can't really tell what makes them Special though. That super pastel just looks like a super pastel to me. Though I'd love to take that crystal home!
