Has anyone heard of a Super Pastel produced from breeding a Pastel to a Pastel sibling? The reason I ask, is we hatched out what appears to be a Super Pastel last week and the breeding was a Pastel to what I thought was a normal. However this baby looks like every Super Pastel I have ever seen. In fact I took her to a show here in KC last weekend and everyone there that knows anything about Ball Pythons said she looked like a Super to them, and then I told them what the breeding was and they all got this confused stumped look on their faces. It wasn't till later in the day that a couple of guys said they had heard of this happening but it was very rare. Obviously she is going to be a hold back and we will have to prove her out.
I'll post some pics later today when I get to the shop. If she isn't a Super then she is the best looking Pastel I have ever seen!
I should also point out that another breeder said that they had heard the Pastel genes were much like a Jaguar Carpet gene. What they meant was someone bred a Jag to a Jag sib and produced a Lucy Carpet. Apparently this is only supposed to happen when you bred a Jag to a Jag.
