    Pastel question

    Hi all, random question. My pastel BP has been getting more and more of an orange glow on the sides of her body with each shed, on the insides of the yellow. As she sheds there is some brown moving in there, but the yellow interestingly enough seems to get deeper and more vivid. Is this orange color normal for pastel or do you think there may be something else in there? Picture is from like 5 months ago but you can already see the orange coming in back then. Thanks!

    Looks like a super pastel to me, they tend to stay more colorful and fade less as they grow than a normal pastel.

    I had actually considered that, I got her from a small pet store that just called her Pastel, and they didn't really seem to have any knowledge past that. I guess time will tell

    You can tell from the pale blushing on her head and black patches that she's a super. As far as the orange glow goes, that will eventually become more of a golden brown as she matures, and will take up more of the yellow. The fact that she's a super will mean that her overall shade will stay lighter though.

    Awesome, that's really cool to know, especially if I ever decide to breed down the line. Thanks so much!
