What's a jungle pastel

[monty_python9]

I heard the term used and wondered what it meant.

Instead of creating one giant super-post that'll have everyone TL;DR'ing, I'll just leave this website here: http://www.grazianireptiles.com/coll...tel_jungle.htm

The small amount of information elsewhere on the internet seems to brush it off "jungle pastel" being a fancy term for pastel. Maybe someone with more functional knowledge can stop by.

Nothing. Pastels use to be called jungle pastels. Over time people stopped saying jungle and the jungle pastel became the pastel.

Same way cinnamons used to be cinnamon pastels. I don't think its right to label them that anymore at expos bc it confuses newcomers to the hobby. They'll think they're getting 2 morphs.

It actually used to be pastel jungles, if I'm not mistaken. I bought my first morph BP from Greg Graziani and bought it as a pastel jungle. When first got my cinny she was also sold as a cinnamon pastel. I think that because of the blushing on the cinnies that people thought that they were another strain of pastel? It may have also had to do with the way that the pastel and cinny combines to make what some people may have thought was a super pastel with cinny traits, but that is all my own line of thinking and not backed by anything outside of my own suspiciousness (is that a word?!). I know that my male pastel has a jungle pattern for the most part and this may be heritable and may be why pastels are called that. I think that most pastels have a pretty good jungle pattern, actually.
