    Lemon Pastel

    How can I identify if its a real Lemon Pastel or just a normal Pastel? Any indications that anyone can point out?

    Lemon pastels are a certain line of bright pastels from NERD. It doesn't matter how eye wateringly lemony the pastel is, if you can't prove that it's from lemon parents, it's not a lemon.

    Well i know the one parent is a lemon pastel and the other is a regular pastel. I was just curious if you could tell the difference visibly. I dont have any pictures to post.

    there is no difference, its the exact same gene, lemon = came from NERD thats all.

    if you had to call it something I guess its 50% lemon. but the lemon part means nothing, all pastels are just pastels.

    Yep!

    The ONLY way to prove you have a true Lemon Pastel is to buy from NERD. They are the ones who imported the line, bred it out and named it.

    Anyone can call a pastel a lemon, but if you want the acknowledged real deal, get it from NERD.

    Anyone can call there pastel a lemon pastel but only if you KNOW the parents are BOTH from NERD or you bought dirrectly from NERD then you don't have a lemon.. you have a pastel...


    And since that pairing was a Lemon pastel and a normal pastel all the babies can realy only be named pastel and not NERD since you can't garentie that that it is a NERD line Lemon pastel anymore...

    Sometimes the physical look of the snake is more important than the names, the real lemon pastels from NERD tend to be real yellow and don't brown out as much when they grow up.
