    Is she a Super Pastel?

    This girl was sold to me as a Super Pastel, and has some head blushing, and blushing through the entire body. She is also bright yellow, compared to the dull brown most regular pastels turn into.

    She is 1501 grams this morning.

    Any help would be great!!!!!








    THanks a lot!

    Very pretty but I'm just seeing pastel, not super. However, wait for more people to chime in as my experience is still limited when it comes to BPs.

    Re: Is she a Super Pastel?

    That's the issue I'm having. I know as regular pastels age, they get ugly dark brown. Finding pictures of 1300g+ Super Pastels is hard. All pastels/super pastels look amazing as hatchlings but as they age they look worse. Not sure what to do if its a normal pastel. I bought her from a breeder as a super pastel. He assured me she was, but if she isn't then that's a big issue.

    Looks awefuly similar to my little pastel enchi. I'm not incredibly good at picking out all 4500 or whatever the number is morphs, but that would be my bet.

    Oh wow, that looks super super close to mine. I mean almost spot on, especially the blushing in the stripes.

    My thoughts exactly If it were me I'd call her a pastel enchi. My super pastel has totally different markings. Way busier pattern.

    My super pastel is about 650 grams so not quite as big, sorry I don't have better pics, friend took this when holding her

    vs one of my normal pastels, she's closer to 850

    I'm seriously considering her to be a possible Pastel Enchi. That picture the gentlemen above posted is very convincing. So hard to know, and I need to make sure I'm pairing her correctly!
