I definitely agree with this. Pastels that are from pastelxnormal pairings tend to not look as nice. My new pastel (pretty sure it is a lemon) had father that was a spider, which probably affected her back pattern. I have also seen some nice grazianis. IMO the graz. pastel hypo looks better than the lemon version. The blushings look amazing.

Also it depends on what you are in the market for. I wanted something that was really bright and little blushings to go with my Mojave. . . . .I LOVE PASTAVES!

Like always, I go for quality and not name. Granted you mainly will get your quality from one of these lines, but My old Bell line pastel from the dixie reptile show got better with sheds, not browner.

I like both!

:D:gj:I like both!

The day they have a Lemon Color, No browning, and a Crazy Patern, Ill buy it.

Its all what the person likes.

Me i just am going out of the norm here, I have a Male RC reptiles Line Pastel. Im not going to love RC reptiles line because i have one, I love my snake for all it comes with, Not the line it came from. Thats really what i judge a snake buy. The snake, not the line or genetics.

Anyway, Thats the best picture i could get of him to show all his colors. He is starting to Brown out already as you can see, in general its a little more visable then that pic (320g, 6 months), But I love him for his patern and personality.

With pastels For me its Patern and Color. I love the crazy jungle patern in most pastels. I dont really like blushing as much. I do like flames, and i love super pastels, but browning is not my main ideal. Id take a pure black/yellow snake over a blushed out one any day.

Well, I don't know Robin....MacKenzie...McKinsey....MacKenzie...McKinsey...
Thinking what I'm thinking??? ;)

It's all about the individual snake to me I guess. I expected that my male pastel would brown out a little, but I loved his pattern. I love both of my pastels, even if they are not the brightest in the bunch.

I like the lemon's a bit more but only because they make awesome supers but to make bees jou can better use graziani .
Just my opion .

I just got a blonde locally, but lemons are what turned me on to pastels in the first place. My little guy is really pretty, and I've got a normal girl thats pretty gold/yellow for him to breed to when they are big enough. My other normal female looks so much like a mojave that I'm going to get a mojave male to breed to her. I'm pretty sure she is a mojave sib anyway. I need to post some pics of my snakes....
