    Things to look for in a normal breeder

    What traits in a normal female should I look for in order to produce the best pastels? I have a male pastel and will soon get a normal female. Thanks

    This is my pastel, a couple of different people tell me he might be a super. Is that possible?

    What I look for is (and this is just me) a clean girl with as much yellow on her as I can find and awesome blushing. Good luck. You have a very nice pastel.

    Good Luck on your Breeding Project. That looks like a Super Pastel to me but I'm not any expert

    The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    The best way to find out if it's a super! I would breed it to a normal to find out if its super! It looks like it might be!

    Make sure he CONSISTENTLY throws all pastels. You can't definitively determine he's a super with one clutch - many people have beaten the odds with an all pastel clutch from a pastel (and some (like myself) have lost the odds with all normals in a pastel clutch).

    I'm picky about all the animals I get including my normals! I'm glad to see you're taking the female into consideration also. Selective breeding is the way to go!!!

    Your guy looks great! I'd try to find a really light or yellow colored female with blushing to pair him with. I'd personally avoid dark colored girls. Good luck!
