Do lemon pastels fade out the same way normal pastels do?

Those are already browned. Here's my adult male (at 2 years old) and one of his daughters:

Here's the daughter at 10 months old - his son is equally as nice:

Those are amazing, Robin!

:eyepoppin Where was the sunglasses warning?? I know what's on my early christmas list. :)

To be fair there are great examples of all the pastel lines. You just need to look long enough and find a breeder thats big into their selective breeding for the desired look you want in an animal.

I immediately think of Albey when I think of amazing pastels. He works with the Graziani line and they are gorgeous as well.

Thanks! I'll look into some nicer ones.

Robin, those are some amazing snakes!!

also, when you use kingsnake, you may already be aware but make sure that the snake pictured is the snake for sale. They could show a GREAT looking pastel but then ship you a very browned one and say they were just posting an example of what they were selling....like i said, you may already know this, but just makin sure =P

Good point.

Try Rusty Balls, i just got a female from them, not bad. They have a killer male breeder.

Hmm, looking at these pictures of adult lemon pastels...I'm starting to think SunSpot (the rescued pastel) might be a lemon! He still has amazing color and he's nearly 2 years old! Man...wouldn't that be something. :D

Any pastel can brown out. I would buy the snake, not the line. Lemons can have nice coloration but not all are the same quality
