Yes, that is correct. Each egg from a Pastel x Pastel clutch would have a 25% chance of being a Super Pastel, a 50% chance of being a Pastel, and a 25% chance of being Normal.

No. The Pastel gene is co-dominant. A normal has 0 allels for the Pastel gene. A Pastel has 1 allel for the Pastel gene, technically making it heterozygous for Super Pastel. Since the Pastel trait is co-dominant, though, the Heterozygous form (Pastels) are visually different than both Normals and the Homozygous form (Super Pastels). A Super Pastel carries 2 allels for the Pastel gene, making it the Homozygous form. A snake will give one of each of its allels to its offspring. Because of this, a Super Pastel (pp) bred to a Normal (NN) will produce all Pastels (Np) since no matter which allel it gets from the Super Pastel and which allel it receives from the Normal, it will always receive one Pastel allel (p) and one Normal allel (N).

Hopefully this makes sense.

yeah it made since so if you breed a super with a reg pastel what would the normals be?

There would not be any normal

Super Pastel X Patel = 50% Super Pastel + 50% Pastel

thats even cooler how much do supers run anyways???? if i went to the local pet store and sold them how much should i get

I've seen some nice Super Pastels available for around $900 or so.

I would not be getting a super from a pet store. You'll pay probably double in price, and I would not be convinced I would be getting a super and not just a pastel.

I think he is thinking is going to sell super pastels to a petstore. If that is the case, good luck finding any petstores to buy super pastels.

oh i know one s and s exotic animals http://www.sandsexoticanimals.com/ they have all sorts of morphs there. they wanna buy my blond pastel from me

they dont advertise the pie bald they have

oh yeah i did find out for sure that my normal is a CB not a WC i talked to the owner just the other day asked her a few questions about the bp they had for 50 bucks a week or so ago and she said they were CB's so either she lied or she told the truth. but i never told her i bought one from her. so yeah!!!!!!!!!

i should be able to get a nice super pastel for around $1,000 for a female and i seen males for $800
i just started a payment plan for an 07 female super pastel for $1,000
you would have better luck selling them on the internet then to a pet store because they pay wholesale prices not what the snake is worth
