I think you are getting a sweet deal on the gal your getting, especially for her size. Not as much white as I like to see, but that can be improved with the right male bred to her.

Ya I thought the price was a good price. And your girl is amazing. I plan on putting a black pewter to her. World of ball python has nothing on black pastel sugars or pastel, black pastel, sugars, so hopefully she takes in the future..your girl is amazing by the way.

Thanks, I like her.

I think a Black Pastel Calider (Black Pastel Spider X Sugar/Calico) could be really awesome.

I like calico better personally. It seems to have more orange and highlighting and blushing. Sugars tend to have the higher whites though. (This is all from what i've seen/my experience, not saying its 100% true). I chose to add calico to my collection because thats what i personally like better, sugars are nice too though. :gj:

I also agree with what mark/satomi/jinx said

I'm hoping she can get up to size quick and go with my black pewter (black pastel, pastel)

Thanks for posting this! I have been debating all week long on which way to go. A friend of mine picked up a pastel calico at the show last Sunday and I really liked him. So I was thinking of getting a male also to go with my pewter, but then I saw the pastel sugar and really was having a hard time deciding. But I think I really like the pastel calico and if I can find a really good male next year that will be what I pick up.

Awesome. Maybe I'll have a pastel sugar for ya Amber ;) lol

Wow, she is beautiful! Stunning. Can't imagine some pastel calicos from her! Ha

This is our proven breeder male calico YB :) not the highest quality calico, but I'm just happy to see some white on him. Scored this guy and a proven breeder killer bee for $300 each :)
