Who has best pastels?

I am wondering if anyone can make a recommendation for a nice pastel that will keep it's color. Also I would like to see pictures of your guys pastels/ super pastels!

I wouldn't say there's one for sure source of good pastels, I'd suggest keeping an eye on the classifieds/breeder's available pages for one that catches your attention (the good ones go fast!). I picked my girl up from royalconstrictordesigns.com (DeMeyer) and I'm totally happy with her! Had to pay more than your usual pastel price, but it's been totally worth it

Love it when you post pics of him :D Gorgeous boy

Honestly, I would just go to a couple reptile shows in person, preferably big ones, and pick out the best pastel you see. They'll all brown out, but the best one you see in person is usually going to beat any random pastel you buy online after a few years of growing.

If you REALLY don't want them to brown up, spend the extra on a pastel mixed with a clean-up gene. Like a firefly, etc.

EDIT: Or spend the extra money on the best pastel someone like NERD or Garrick deMeyer has in stock. Usually if they say it's a stunner and are charging twice or three times as much as everyone else, it really is something special.

My male is a "Joliff line" Pastel and this is him at well over 2 years old, probably closer to 3:

I've never seen a "Joliff" website so I don't know where you would get one.

The female I recently bought has a wild-caught grandfather who kept his bright yellow until the day he died.

This is her at 5 months:

With every shed, she gets yellower and brighter.

I'm hoping that it's a trend she'll maintain for a long time since she's the intended "bride" of the Joliff male because they should produce some really nice supers and pastels. :)

here are my Pastels that I got from Justin Kobylka:

NERD, and VPI produces a really awesome like of Pastels, Brian Gundy from FGS also make some awesome pastels.

With any breeder your going to find some high quality pastels, and some low quality ones. Shop around for one that you like, you can find a high quality pastel just about anywhere.
