it was a good show, lots and lots and LOTS of balls.

I'm sorry, but did you just say you bought a 100% het Pastel BP???

yeah.. was the 100% het pastel female a typo?

Yeah I just saw that too. Sorry dude but if thats what they told you then you got ripped off. No such thing as het pastel. there are pastels het for other morphs. got yourself a nice normal though. That last one you got there is gorgeous (the normal male in shed)

No, its not even 100%, its 50%!!!!!! :rolleyes:

50% het. Pastel? :confused: :colbert: Uh oh! :O :(

Nice looking snake tho!

thats what i was told, oh well..only paid $40 for her ;)

A pastel IS a heterzygous form of the Super Pastel.

It's either a pastel, or it isn't. I hope you didn't pay more for that girl because it was "50% het pastel" since there's no such thing!

oh well no hets for pastel but for 40 bucks she still very nice. Only animals that have hets are recessive type traits such as albino, hypo, clown, piebald, etc. then you get into co dom and dom traits, The ones that look physically different from a normal (your pastel) then those bred together make super forms.

No, Heather - he said 50% het pastel. (9_9)

Dansballs, there are some pretty snakes among that bunch - but none of them are het for Pastel. Super Pastel is a "Co-Dominant" morph, which means that hets are visible. You've got a male in the first two photos. "Pastel" is the name for the visual het of "Super Pastel", if that makes any sense.

That was a fun show, with lots of pretty eye-candy! Though under budget for herp shows this time through, I did pick up some little girl rat pups to foster into my breeding colony, some photos and information for a friend seeking a cage for her incoming bearded dragon, and as always, lots of good information and great memories. (as well as quite a number of morphs that I previously didn't care much for - and now have an interest in! Black Pastel / Ghost? Oh, _yum_!)

Nice pickups, Dansballs - I hope they do well for you!

she's a lot lighter too, pics make her look darker.

thanks bruce, im just getting into morphs and genetics, guess i just got a bit confused..sorry all :rolleyes:

sorry bud shes just normal. Shes still pretty though. Heck for 40 bucks thats a steal. most places around me sell hatchlings for 45 not 600gram females. Good pick up. By any chance do you remeber who you bought it from. You should post them on the BOI on fauna classifieds or contact them and make sure they didnt mean something different.

aw heck its cool. I am glad you didnt get over charged I will be the first to admit genetics confused the heck outta me at first. you will catch on though I went to marcus jaynes website heres a link it doesnt show all morphs but rather helpful. http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html

Dan,
nice pickups... like the pastel... i was at the show, it was pretty good. Ian had some really nice BP's on the stage... what part of NY u from ?

don't remember who they where, they could have meant something different, the guy was talking to me about his pastels as i was checking that girl out..maybe my lack of sleep caused me to think he said 50% pastel het...LOL.

lol. I hear you there. Well Either way nice animals and grats.

thanks for the link.

yeah, like i said i'm still learning..after keeping normal balls for a few years i'm now getting interested in morphs..guess i better start reading up on genetics more, haha.
