    What do you see here?
    Ok, might as well start this off in the usual way that I hadn't planned on buying a new BP today but hey you know how that goes. Saw this little girl (57g) at the repticon Raleigh show and fell in love with her despite the breeder not being 100% sure what she was. I've bought from him before and I know he works with nice genetics and when I explain the pairings you'll see why this one is a little tricky to pin down.
    The dame was his Lesser Pastel so nothing tricky there but she was seen locking with both a Gargoyle Pastel and a Black Pewter (possibly het Ghost) so the sire is not 100% known.
    He thinks she's a Super Pastel Lesser het Red Axanthic.
    Thoughts?

    She looks great. I lean towards a Super Pastel Lesser het Red Axanthic (I think if it were a Super Pastel Cinnamon or a Supper Pastel Lesser Cinnamon, that the pattern would be more washedout), but i don't have experience with Het Red Axanthic, so I could be wrong. You could contact The Herp Vault for some gelp. They have done some Het Red Axanthic stuff. I think you got a powerful girl and will have fun learning the truth with her first clutch.

    Thanks, I found this one on WOBP and it seems correct and would mean it was the Gargoyle Pastel that got the job done.

    I agree. I hatched out a pastel butter HRA this year. Yours looks similar to mine, just has that extra pastel gene.

    Looks like a Lesser black pewter to me. May have het red or het hypo giving it that little tweak.
    I'd shoot Colin Weaver of ecrb an email and pic. He'd know for sure. Those breedings are his specialty. :D

    If it had het red and black pastel in there youd have a lesser pastel onyx. Definitely not a het red x black pastel combo, has to be one or the other.
