Thanks; I seriously never knew that. But it is definately a good thing to know!

I always say "a good Pastel is brighter than Lipton Chicken-Soup-broth powder." But I am weird.

Ok since every one wanted to show off pastels I'll play.


My male and female Jungle pastel

I would have to say that my male is a grade F but then again you get what you payfor, or dont pay for in my case. My boy was free. I cant complane though. The guy liked me so much and my snakes that he waved the $150 charge. That and the female he had for me sold out from under me by mistake and he felt bad.

Some older pictures ... but here is Blaze. He's a Graziani line pastel.

Just my two cents

Ed, the jungles can come from any bloodline of pastels, its just a pattern variation. :)

WOW neil! I need sunglasses to look at that thing. Since it is so ugly, send it here. I care for animals with that *ahem* disposition.

Rich and Neil... You guys have some BEAUTIFUL pastels!


Neil, that pastel is one of if no the nicest (sub adult/adult) Graziani I've seen...

You got any recent pics of him? how big was he in that pic?

Thanks all, he was probably about 450 - 500 grams in that picture. His last weight at the end of October was 710. I don't have any real recent pics of him, and he is in shed right now. I will have Alyssa (BPGirl) take some new pics of him this weekend or next week after he sheds.


We got him directly from Greg Graziani, and his sire was an incredible looking Super. We have been pairing him with a couple of girls, and observed a lock up last week. Fingers crossed ......

Also ... some great looking Pastels others have too, I can't wait to see some babies over the next year or two!!!

sorry about that didn't know they would be so big. Not a big digital photo person as you can tell by the fuzzy photos of me trying to get a close shot. using my dads old digital camera he gave me only a 1.3 mp
