Introducing: The Pastel Super Crystal Ball

Here is the latest in the new line of Crystal Balls!:D Here is a Pastel Super Crystal Ball Python... I don't know if it is easy to see on camera, but this little bugger has the same pink hue that had my family wanting to call the original Pastel Crystals, Ruby Crystals! I cannot wait for this little bugger to color up:headbang:!
Let me know what you think,

Both are hot, but I like the plain Super Crystal better than the pastel...!

Those look awesome!!!

Cool, you can see the pink hue.... I wonder if that will disappear or enhance over time?

i have to agree with above about liking the Plain super better than the pastel super

not that the pastel super isnt HOT HOT HOT...i love how you can still see some pattern

HOLY HANNAH!. and i thought your super crystal was hot. as Mel Brooks said " its good to be the king"

In the beginning there was a Mojave and a "Special" and it was good. :bow::bow:

Very nice, great color

Wow!!!!

look normal to me. well obviously they are far from normal but you know what I mean.

I LOVE when balls are all white or almost.
Theres just something about that morph that makes me want to hold them for hours and hours.

I fell in love with this picture even though its probably grown up now. The spider piebald.
CLICK!

I found it some time on google a while back. Its just the cutest darn thing. D:

It looks like a little "glow worm" it's gorgeous!!:gj:

Congrats Tom, another awesome snake!!

One has to wonder though... are you sure the white one isn't a "super crystal" and the colored one on the left to be the "pastel super crystal"? In the case of the Ivory, the pastel gene added color and did not remove any? I don't know anything about the crystal project, but that is the first thoughts that come to mind. I think the animals are stunning and are definitely a huge success... but as an outsider to your projects, I'm just not convinced of what genes are involved in the animals I'm seeing :confused:

I certainly can't wait for pictures of other Crystal clutches.. I'm sure you have some more interesting stuff incubating!!

Thanks for sharing and congrats on a GREAT season so far!!

Regards,
Bristen.

icy hotness all rolled into one.. er two snakes. those are awesome looking. If the pastel holds its pink hue as it grows that would be amazing to see. I hope it does. congrats on producing those two.

I agree, but I'd clear a space in my rack for either!

:worship:

Thanks alot everyone! Again I am stoked that there is a very positive response to this project and that I even ended up getting a basement slave!:gj: As you will see when they get older they both color up a large amount... The Pastel cleans up the Crystal quite a bit as the color comes in... I will post pics of a Crystal and Pastel Crystal baby and adult pics soon.
The end results of the clutch were:
1.0 Pastel Super Crystal
1.0 Super Crystal
2.1 Pastel Mojave
1.0 Special
Bristen,
I am 100% positive that the whiter of the two is the Pastel Super Crystal and from a few peoples responses, I am guessing that it is not obvious... If you have hatched out a Pastel Crystal and held this snake in your hand, you would have no questions at all.

they are both stunning.... wow

Hey Tom,

thanks for the extra information... I won't argue with the "Crystal Master" heh ;-) Perhaps I should go back in my photo archives (yes, I'm a ball python picture junkie/collector) and find hatchling pastel crystals to refresh my memory.. I have never had the pleasure of seeing those ball python gems other than on pictures... Many of us dream of landing on a project like yours Tom, enjoy the ride :)

Can't wait for picture updates as they grow and color up!

Congrats again and wish you all the best!
Bristen.
