Bigtime breeders have better quality, i mean if you buy two lemon pastels from BHB and breed them out, thats a BHB super lemon quality, and can go for more. But its also the trust of the breeder in question. If i buy a pastel hatchling whom was from bhb lines but in the first week was not properly attended to, one of the most delicate times of their lives then it could be quite gimped.
No they don't! Lemon pastels are NERD line, btw. On what basis do you say that the big breeders have better quality? Even the big breeders will tell you that there are many smaller scaled breeders with superior quality.
