Thought I'd take a comparison shot of some NERD and Barnhart line black pastels. The upper right is the NERD line, and lower left is the Barnhart line. As you can see the Barnhart line tends to be brighter with more orange in it, while the NERD line animals I'm working with are just plain DARK.
The Barnhart line also seems to make more extreme versions of your standard black pastel combos, like this plain old black pastel yellowbelly...
And lastly, just a comparison shot of the two Barnhart line black pastel yellowbellies that I've hatched out this year. The male on the right just had his first meal a few nights ago, and the female on the left is about two months old but took a month to start eating. She hasn't put on much size but she sure is packing on the orange!
