What kind of pastel is he?
I often hear people refer to their pastels as Lemon, Graziani, Bell line, etc... and I'm wondering what kind of pastel my Toby is? I'd ask the breeder, but I seem to have lost his contact info! Here are a few pictures:
(FYI: I think he's about 5-6 months old, and weighs approx. 330g)

Oh, and when you breed two pastels (to make supers), does it matter if they're the same type? And what happens if you breed a black pastel to a regular pastel? TIA!

LOL... I just read that other pastel thread, and I guess you can't tell from pictures! :D Still curious about my other questions, though.

As far as I know, all pastel lines are compatible, it's just that some are bred for specific traits as well as who proved them out, IE Greg Graziani - Graziani line and NERD - Lemon. If you breed a black pastel or cinny to a regular pastel you'll hatch pewters, pastels, cinnys or BPastels and normals

His last shed measured 26 inches, so I guess he's just over 2 feet long...
Re: What kind of pastel is he?
You can't tell from looking at them. You would have to ask the breeder, but it doesn't matter anyways. Without everyone selectively breeding each separate line for the same traits, they all start looking the same within a few generations. I have pastels from the Bell, Graziani and VPI lines, and if I had to take a guess I would say that yours comes from the Graziani line based on the color and blushing, but it could just as well be from the blond or VPI line.
