    Is this a Super Pastel?

    Ok, just wondering what you guys think. These are both pastels, after some thinking I am starting to believe the lighter one is a Super, I got these on trade and think I got lucky and scored a Super...

    What do you guys think?

    Hmmmm, seems like it could be one, though I might expect the head to be much lighter. But the blushing on his dorsal is pretty super like. Either way he's good looking!

    Better pictures would help, and a close up of the head.

    Could be a super, but from those pictures just looks like a beautiful pastel.

    Thanks guys. Yeah the head is what gets me, but being that she's almost 700grams I figure with how the pastels brown out it's just what happens...I'll try to get better pictures.

    Both snakes in the picture ARE pastels.....

    It looks like a Super, except for the head. I'm going to have to go with just a really nice Pastel.

    I think that's one of the coolest Pastels I have seen. Very light for it's size and very awesome blushing. Would be interesting to see what you'd get out of breeding him/her.

    Thanks, yeah I was thinking "Just breed her to a Normal and see if the whole clutch is Supers and pastels, then I'll get my answer"...But if she stays around long enough I think a spider BF would be a nice choice for her..lol...

    Thanks guys...I'll try for better pics...But Regular (Nice) Pastel seems to be the consensus..lol...

    Supers can't reproduce themselves so a normal X Super pastel = all pastels.
    It looks like a pastel to me also, a pretty sweet one at that.
