    morphs that fade

    Hey guys,

    I was just wondering what morphs have a high tendency to fade, and what ones keep their colors really well. For example I love pastel's, but i have noticed that many adults fade to nearly the same colors as a normal.


    What do you guys think?

    pastels, axanthics. Most lose that crisp baby color.

    I'm a big fan of Lessers. Not only do they not fade, their colors gets even better with age.

    How about super pastels? Do they seem to fade the same as het pastels?
    I noticed that not all pastels fade, so maybe its genetics. Brian Gundy has an amazing adult pastel on his youtube channel; very bright colors.

    Nerd line Lemon pastels get better with age. But you must make sure it is a Nerd line lemon. Any one can call a lemony looking pastel a lemon.

    anything with fire gets better and better.... Your pastels may fade or brown but fireflies get lighter and brighter... Anything crossed with fire seems to be that way

    I've seen plenty of browned out lemons, most directly from NERD, while they do produce nice pastels not all of them are, lemon by no means = better.

    I don't think there's het pastels, Pastels are the Het. form of the supers Pastels.If that's what you meant then I'm sorry I just don't want someone to try and sell you a Het. Pastel.
