Super Pastel??????

Looks like a really bright pastel to me too.

Everyone who said pastel it correct.. But I thought I go a bit further.
People have a hard time picking out supers from just really nice pastels because IMHO people don't make enough just regular ole super pastels.. So here are some differences between a Good pastel and a super.

Good looking pastels like this one my friend Robin produced will have an awesome blushed out head. But the black is just that black, on the body and the head.

Where as on a super the head will be almost white and the blacks with be faded. Like this

Here are two supers (left) a pastel Middle and a normal right.

And as they grow the black just get's less and less

Nice post! Thanks!

Or simply ask the breeder what produced them. If there was only one form of pastel it can't be a super.

My pastel did and ive seen others with it too

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a POG? Mistakes have been known to happen at shows. The Snake Keeper sold a super to someone as a regular pastel, because one of their helpers mis-marked an animal, a few years ago.

Mine didn't when I owned one. Pictures sometimes really don't help.

I purchased a pastel that looked like that three years ago. The breeder was not sure if it was a super or not. It was not, but it she did lay a clutch this year of five eggs: Killerbee, two Bumblebees and two Pastels. It was from a pairing with a Bumblebee.
