I understand the dislike of pieds. When I first saw them in Reptiles Mag in the mid 90's I thought they were ugly as well. Took me a good 15 years and some cool combos for me to come around to appreciating them.

I'm not really into axanthics, cinnies or other normal looking dark morphs. But the super cinnies / blk pastels are cool and should make some nice combos, and the hypo blk pastels are pretty sweet.

Combo wise I hate everything about the pastave. It's ugly and has a stupid name. I will never have one in my collection.
