Pastels?

[Pythonfriend]

pastel is the most common morph of all BP morphs. it is also one of the oldest.

but we all know they have issues with browning out. and in multi-gene combos, they can wash out or fade out the pattern.

its the most common morph because it has been the most common morph right from the beginning. there is no other reason. in quality, it does not compare to other newer codominants like lesser/butter, yellowbelly, mojave, fire, enchi, CG/banana, gravel, mocha, bamboo.

after spending a lot of time on this forum and working on getting into the right living condition and financial condition to get started, i will soon start my collection. and i will, right from the start, cut out the two most common morphs: pastel and spider. meaning i am open to start with everything else except these two. maybe ill get a spider later on, but never a pastel. and the first BP i buy will definitively contain enchi.

pastel is the cheapest morph (fact), the most common morph (fact), one of the oldest morphs if not the oldest morph (fact), and i think the most overrated morph (matter of opinion).

the deal-breaker for me is that jigsaws and kingpins look awesome, but when you add pastel, they look diminished. not necessarily in color, but definitively in contrast and pattern. these are just two obvious examples where the result is better without pastel.
