Black Pastel

Here's a question for you folks. Who do you think, in your personal opinion, produces the best Black Pastels out there. I'm thinking of a really nice contrast look. When searching sites I've seen quite a few really dark Black Pastels but only a few that really have the contrast we're hoping for.

This is a morph Mike and I want very much to add to our collection in 2008 so we're starting our breeder search now by asking the best people we know for some recommendations. We'd love to buy from a BPNet member. :)

I just talked to Heather, you know Heathers Herps, and she said that she may be breeding a bunch of them this year so you may want to talk to her. On the net, I see them every once in a while here and there on KS and what not but nothing that has knocked me over.

Jas's are lookin pretty sexy too!

I'm not sure about black pastels as I am currently working with cinnys. I like the blushing and chocolate color better then that of the black pastels, although i will be picking one up this year or next. From the pick jas posted though, heathers look great.

Ohhhhh thank you for the suggestions and those gorgeous pictures. This is sort of Mike's pet project so I know he'll be thrilled to see these great examples of one of his favorite morphs. In our house I'm all about the lighter morphs and Mike is focusing on the darker ones. :)

I like VPI's black satin. I have one I'm trying to hook up with my big black back female.

In my opinion the VPI's are the blackest.

Heathers are nice too:)

Here are some pics of my VPI satin boy

I gotta go with Raul on this one. As soon as I plan on buying a black pastel, it is going to be a VPI Satin for sure.
Raul, that boy is smokin!

VPI's Black Satins:sweeet:

You have to love Raul's VPI black satin it is such a pretty snake.

very nice snake's will have to look into all of those mentioned to pick the one we like the best thanks again for the help everyone.

Personally, I am a huge fan of the VPI line. On the other hand, not many people throw up pics of their black pastels on this forum. I have to go somewhere else to get my fix. :o

That one from Gulf Coast is killer! :)

Here one from us...

Sorry Jon, my fault. I think I asked the first leading question.

No one needs to apologize for any thing. No one is in trouble or has done anything wrong. But we would like to try and keep things fair and Uniform when it comes to referring people to places where they can purchase snakes. Again no harm no foul.

My Black Pastel comes from Doug Beard's line. It doesn't have a clear belly like the one that Next World posted. Do most lines of Black Pastels have clear bellies?
Kind regards,

the three that i have do

Bit late on this thread (I actually had to search for it).

But congrats Jo. I think Blacks would be a great addition to your collection. You seem more partial to the ivories/albinos... is this Mike's way of asserting himself? :)

I love the blacks, hope you get a great one.

Bruce

Hey Bruce! Yep it's always been that way since we got into BP's. I'm drawn to the lighter morphs, Mike prefers the really dark or high contrast morphs. We have 2 or 3 young females here that we think would be just lovely paired someday to a really nice male Black Pastel so the search is on.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to give me their opinions or share pictures. Those are some truly gorgeous examples of this morph. :)
