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?
