    Re: which are the best looking pastels?

    I have a question for you. Will you eventually change out your pastel for a super? If so you may want to check out which supers you like best. I prefer the graziani line supers because of their extreme blushing. Which is why I try to work with graziani line pastels. Also with selective breeding you can lessen the browning that happens as they age.

    Re: which are the best looking pastels?

    both is for me importent. but for the start im interrested in normal pastels


    but u gave me a good point to think about- the super forms are importend too.

    but till now, ive never seen a super that i didnt like


    heres the "super duper pastel" from marcus janye (ballpythons.ca)

    http://www.ballpythons.ca/collection...tel_pic_2.html

    idk which line that is, but i dig it alot!


    edit- ive just read about it- its a graziani line super pastel- yeah no i know what ure talkin bout!!!!!!!!!

    but the normal grazianis dont look so good and loose their color- at least the animals that i saw...

    Shoot him an email and ask him. I have a graziani pastel that Greg said was a super duper (basically just means a really nice, very light super). As soon as I get a cord for this stinking camera I will post it for you.

    Totally agree.. that's why I'm working with both Lemons and the Grazani line Jungle.. because the super jungles just scream with that blushing..

    Re: which are the best looking pastels?

    i dig them alot- thats a cool bee- high white and nice yellow on the sides

    but he has a browned back also-

    does that happend to all bees or are there bees that are completly yellow- just as most young bees- out there?

    does someone know if marcus jayne has produced bees from that super graziani pastel?

    Re: which are the best looking pastels?

    or is that typicall for all bees and only the killerbees look like i want them?

    cant remember that ive seen a adult killerbee. have tons of pics of young killerbess, but not 1 from an adult...


    probably is selektiv breeding the most rewarding way to produce super clean, super bright pastels, super pastels, bees, killer bees...

    Re: which are the best looking pastels?

    I'm working on the purchase of a new female pastel - but I won't post a link to her picture until the puchase is complete (don't want anyone buying her out from under me). It's the first pastel I've seen in awhile that I've wanted to buy outside of my lemons. Ed's (Freakie_Frog) lemon pastel that he posted above was the first lemon pastel that I produced and released.
