    Difference between Pastel Ghost and Super Pastel?
    So, I have a female Pastel that could be het for ghost and a male Spider that could also be het for ghost.
    This year I got a clutch of 10 eggs.
    2 x normals
    4 x bumblebees
    3 x pastels

    and this little female:

    She has that faded head and a lot of blushing on her back. The thing is, last year I´ve paired the female pastel to a male pastel. (but I got no eggs from that pairing)
    So.... is she a ghost pastel or a super pastel???!!!
    Any input is greatly apreciated!
    P.S.: Her pattern is very different from the other 3 pastels I´ve got from this clutch.
    Sorry for my english, not my first language :)

    Now someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong here. I'm starting to work with the Ghost gene myself, and I think there might be an easy way to tell but you'll need to wait till after the first shed. A BP with a visual Ghost gene will produce a shed with no pattern on it. If it's completely clear, I'd say you have a Ghost.

    Pics of them in the same picture, your white balance different in every picture making it hard to compare. What I will actually want to compare is the black areas, pastel hypos will normally have a lighter shade of black across the snake. Where a super pastel tends to be the same, just blushed more.

    Another vote for super pastel. With ghost you wont have blacks that deep.
