    Pastel and... pastel?

    First of all I just want to say that I'm pretty sure this is a difference in quality between the pastels. Nonetheless, I'm not the greatest at subtler morphs so here goes:

    I've got a pastel with extreme blushing along the top and fairly high white/yellow sides, green eyes, etc. All the normal stuff for pastels. That's what I thought anyway. A friend of mine has another pastel and upon comparing them we discovered they're quite... different.

    I took pictures, unfortunately the phone camera doesn't really do any of their colours justice but well.




    So, these aren't the greatest but hopefully you can see what I mean with the blushing and the white sides.

    In these pictures, at least to me, they appear to both be single gene pastels with the one on the top left being slightly higher quality than the other. Both are very likely to loose their yellow and brown further as they age.

    Pastel vary greatly from one individual to another which is why selective breeding is so important.

    They can have high blushing, busy pattern, reduced pattern, black back etc.
