They look like something special to me...

I understand that you think there may be something there. In the end breed it out. Here's a couple of my pastels.

It sucks to get your hopes up only to find out later. You've asked everyone's opinions and they've given it to you.
They are very pretty girls. And holding them back is a great idea. 1. If you think there's something there. Breed it and prove it.
2. Who doesn't need more female pastels?

I agree with everyone above, You may have taken it to your "reputable breeder" locally but you asked people what they think and the entire community that responded say nothing special. So you either believe your reputable breeder or the 15 people on here thats up to you.

It sounds like your upset because everyone disagrees with what you were "hoping" for. And dont know what everyone else thinks but I dont believe in visual "Markers." Snakes either carry the genes or they dont.

Again heres a couple of my pastels. My female has TONS of white on her and I doubt shes anything special but I will be breeding her this upcoming season to see if she throws more high whites.

Younger pastel female with above female. You can see how white she is compared to the more "yellow" pastel.
