New Arrival!

Just arrived from Raul @ West Coast Jungle and got him settled in. He totally exceeded my expectations, tons of oranges and rich blacks in his colors. Seems like he'll be another morph that's hard to photograph though.

Thanks again Raul!! Great experience all around. Love him! :gj:

Digs it!

Wow. He is so dark. Congrats on a nice pick up.

Hard to photograph for true colors... yes, for sure... Easy to get the general idea. Definitely! Awesome Pickup!!!!! :gj::gj::gj:

He's smoking hot - congratulations!

Super awesome!!! You did great with the pics... You can almost feel the iridescence ! ;)

Thanks, when he's settled in it will be fun to try and see how close I can get to his true colors.

Thanks! There IS a lot of iridescence going on with him :).

Wow that is one nice looking black pastel

Very Nice! I love me some Black Pastels!

That's my perfect dream black pastel. I think this is the next morph I'm getting for sure, and this specimen is perfect! :bow:

Jessica I am so glad you like him. I agree, they look pretty in photos but it is hard to capture that deep irredescense(however you spell it) on camera. The VPI's are my favorite line but then I am a little impartial, lol

Thanks again:)

I gotta have one! :D

I just dug around for 10 minutes trying to find this thread, I love this guy! How come all the black pastels I see for sale just look like dark normals?! Ugh. I would love to have one like yours someday! :gj:

I've always preferred cinnies but this black pastel is simply breathtaking! Blows almost any black pastel or cinny I've seen out of the water. Amazingly rich color... just such a beautiful animal. Keep posting pictures as he grows!

Oh my god, he's BEAUTIFUL. I can't wait to get a black pastel. They're one of my favorites.

Thank you! Raul did an awesome job producing this guy. :gj:

Very nice colors after shed. :gj: I love the deep orange and black.

The cinny girl I got last week looked kinda blah in the pictures and I realized 2 days later that she was gonna shed soon, she had a pink belly. Can't wait for her to shed so I can take great pictures :)

He is looking great Jess!


I am hoping to hatch some pewters and calico/black pastels from this VPI line which in my bias opinion is the best Black Pastel line around:)
