    vanilla pastels; worth the money?

    Does anyone have vanilla pastels?

    Are they worth the price, or should normal pastels do the job?

    Educate me please

    Between the 2 supers, the vanilla wins in my book.

    But I'm a fan of Lemons, and their super isnt all that spectacular.

    I would suspect that a fire x vanilla would make a very insanely light snake.

    Re: vanilla pastels; worth the money?

    i would say it depends on what you want. i love super pastels, they have the blushing and the pattern i like. i like vanillas, but not as much as super pastels. you should just do some research and get what makes you happy, price shouldnt matter if the snake justifies the price in ur eyes

    Or possibly the yellowest animal the world has ever seen. If only the blacks were darker, then it could look like caution tape.

    But, if you can get the Vanilla, I'd go for it, especially since you dont hear much about it. The less you hear about a snake the more fun I think it is, because it's likely not been crossed with much. And how worth it do you think it will be when you are sitting there hatching out potentially the first Vanilla Fires the world has ever seen? Or Vanilla Black Pastel Pewters?

    I bet you'll be sitting there as giddy as a kid on christmas. So my vote is go for it.

    There you go, then, if you want a line of pastels to work with look no further than the Vanilla, because you'll be able to play around with genetics that havent been used much. You can introduce new snakes to the market, and your collection. Plus I'm pretty sure if you end up getting Vanilla Pastel babies you will have no trouble finding a home for them, especially after unveiling some of the never-before-seen designer morphs you make.

    It's been done and is an insanely cool morph with a whacked out pattern too. Google Vanilla Cream Ball Python.

    Now you are talking about 2 codoms correct? Vanilla and pastel. Here is my Vanilla Pastel Yellowbelly.
