Thanks:D I picked her out at a show. She was sold to me as a normal pastel het ghost. I'm trying to breed her with my Spider 66%het ghost male, but she has not locked with him yet.

I never realized that the orange browns out with age. Now that you said something it does make since.:P

Wow this one is so interesting....cant wait to see what she looks like as an adult

I really like the color and blushing on lil miss. :) Here are my 2 female pastels. I would say one is a very low end pastel and the other an average pastel.

This is the low end female 2 months ago and around 300g

She is now 426g and very browned out already. Her brown has a hint of green tinge to it though.

She is 324g and still has a nice amount of yellow and nice blushing. I would say she is pretty average.
