What can special do besides making crystals

[spersky]

Here is my 2012 female Special that I plan to make crystals with. What else does special bring to your combos. There are a few pics I noticed on Worldofballpythons.net, but not a whole lot.

Does special just make things brighter? Could be hard to tell when mixed with Pastel etc.

My special kinda looks like a bright normal with gold tones.

Here is a quick snapshot.

Special x bumblebee is pretty sweet. Special x spider. Special x champ is my all-time favorite (even more than the crystal). I think crystals on their own are downright awesome. I got into them because I don't want to have to determine the difference between phantoms/mystics and mojaves ! Specials definitely don't look like mojos lol

Specials definitely don't look like mojos lol

How easy are they to distinguish between normals though? I would hate to sell someone a $1k+ normal.

I don't think we know what all they can do yet. I think you should give one to me, and I'll do some experiments.

I've seen several specials in person. They're NICE. They're very busy patterned. Sometimes they have a funky head pattern. Once you see some in person, you will know that they don't look like normals. It takes a little time to be able to tell the difference in subtle morphs, but you'll get the hang of it . Here's a link with photos of some nice specials:

Kevin Stoltz, Tom Baker, Heather from Heather's Herps, and BHB all worth with specials/crystals. Contact any of these folks with your questions, and I'm sure they can tell you 10x more than what I can .
