    A pastel poll

    I know it's not a real poll, but I found a breeder I'm thinking of getting my first pastel from. These are the ladies he has available. All of them are over 300 grams. I'm kinda partial to the pattern on the first and third ones, but I want to know how they might stack up as breeders. I know they're not great pics but I asked for them and this is what I got. Should I be looking for brighter colors? Will these brown out badly because they are so orange already? Talk to me pastel people. The sire would be a real nice light tan colored Mojave Spider.

    They look like they may brown out, but if I were to choose, I like number 3.

    Always look for the most faded head that you can with pastels, and the least amount of orange. From that criteria, I agree with #3 as the best choice.

    I like number 2. I like my pastels with lots of blushing. 2's head may not be as blushed but the rest of his body has much more than 3.

    Re: A pastel poll

    If I decide to get one I think it'll be number 3. I had not considered the head blushing being a sought after trait in a pastel. Or any other morph for that matter. I appreciate the opinions.

    I like a nice amount of blushing. Look at the dorsal markings- most all of them have some nice blushing. The head is not as light as #3, but I think the blushing makes up for it.
