Does anyone know if Ben Siegel's sentinel ball is the same as the super paint?

according to the originator of the paintball it is not. I thought it may be, but he says no. I have not seen his paints, so I have no idea if they are the same as my het sentinels. I will say the pictures of my adults as babies are quite vividly colored in comparison to the pics of baby super paints I have seen. They look closer to the matrix ball that Ralph has, but have not seen that animal in a long time. I have 4 hatching right now and they look very pretty as well. I am very excited about these animals. They are gorgeous. Last pic is of a het sentinel.
Wow - yet another morph to add to the list of "one day!" LOL

I cant wait to see the sentinel crosses. I think the sentinel mojave would look awesome. Imagine the sentinel pied or sentinel clown.

I like those animals. Not sure what to make of them--definately they have some similarities to the paints and the sentinels. The babies look very different. I like them. Very cool stuff.
I cannot wait to see the pastel sentinel---I think it will be unreal.

Very cool morph....I have heard little about it. So it is a proven recessive trait?

nah--its a codom, but I call them het sentinels like het ivory. When I originally got these from Africa, I thought they would be the codom, and that there would be a super which I would call super sentinels--but the original animals are the super. So I am so used to calling them sentinels, I call the codom het sentinels. I should change it to calling the codom sentinels and the others super sentinels.

Makes sense...do you have any more pics of the hets? I am always interested in those 'normal' looking animals who have a pretty radical looking super form...spotnose...yb...fires.... :)
