    Is she a very brown pastel or a nice pastel?

    I have a lot of trouble with pastels. I have one pastel that I know is a but above the rest and some others that I consider to be decent/average pastels, but my lemon pastel confuses me. She's about 800-900g right now and I didn't get her as a 70-100g hatchling like I did the rest of my pastels so I can't tell if she is a nice pastel or not. To me she looks brown, but I know all pastels brown out to some degree. So to those of you who are experts, is she a decent pastel?













    Compared to my pastel yellow belly who is a about 300g smaller, she just doesn't look that nice, but I know that isn't a fair comparison.

    I think she's really nice, looking at the yellow on her sides and the blushing on her back. a little brown doesn't hurt when they're bigger, in my opinion. she's still really bright and the brown isn't real dark.

    she's 800 / 900 grams and she's still THAT yellow/orange??

    IMO, that's a really nice example of a pastel

    Thanks everyone. I do like her, but she just doesn't seem that bright to me especially when compared to:



    But she is monster when it comes to food. She ate the day I got her in and other day when I opened her tub to check her water levels she came flying out looking for a rat.

    looks pretty average progression to me, by no means low quality, just average.

    I think she is nice looking pastel. The fact the isn't as bright as your others just means that you have some very nice pastels in your collection.

    She looks like a pretty girl to me! There's so much variation in pastels you can find one to fill just about anyone's cup of tea.
