I was thinking the same thing. I would go with that female because of the brighter color and better banding alone. If she turns out to have a little some thing extra in here, BONUS! Lol Good luck either way OP.:gj:

Not necessarily. If you are feeding it an appropriately sized meal weekly, there is no reason she can't gain another 600g in a year. Once she's eating, she'll start slamming food.

Crazy :)

Anyway, get both! Maby you can get a deal.
I would go with the first one as well, if you can only get one.

I almost had a heart attack when I glanced on this, thinking that the picture was stolen! I've been reading too many Bad Guy threads at the BOI for entertainment o_o So we're thinking she may go well with an Enchi?

And their prices and customer service are fricken superb, so realistically I should get a pair. But alas, I'm paying off my High contrast Albino female and Mojave male this month. I have to draw the line somewhere or I'm going to buy everything in site lol Thanks for the insight about the "wall" thing. It honestly won't be the end of the world if she doesn't put on enough healthy weight. I've got time and would rather her be healthy before trying.

I sent Rachel the deposit for her a little while ago and she's sales pending! Woohoo! Now to go prowl for Enchi males... >_>

I was really looking at that top girl too! I decided to go with the original DSD girl because I am impatient! They are spectacular animals and the head stamp is apparently genetic, as many if not all DSD pastels have it. Great pick!

I have a female pastel bp and she is going on 5 years old. What is healthy weight for her at this time? Just curious... I haven't weighed her in a while so just wanted to get some feedback to see if what she weights out is healthy or not.

It would be helpful to see a picture of her from the top and side to see her overall body condition. That's more of an indication of her overall health in addition to how many grams she is.
