If he's not asking a ridiculous amount, his sides might be worth toying around with. It might do something interesting to a gene like spider or enchi.

As a pastel, yeah he's really not very good. But man those sides just kill me. He'd be hard to pass up for the right price, just to see if he passed those sides on.

I LOVE his tail, and the way his markings just FADE away, I haven't seen that with pastel OR yellowbelly o.o The bad part for me is that he is in another country as it is, but the seller is coming to my country for an expo that takes place in a few days. I'm tempted to go, but I was supposed to go to a friends place that weekend. Oh dear lord, the temptation though...but yeah, even with pastel and yellowbelly he doesn't fit my breeding plans for more than maybe Ivory, and I wasn't aiming for that within the next few years.

I wonder how bumblebees from this guy would look like? o.o Does anyone know what the result will be like if one used a 'dirty' pastel in a breeding project? I honestly like brown and warm colors more than screaming yellow, I've never fancied pastels because they are so bright, but I had never seen such a dark pastel before, and never heard of anyone breeding them or combining them with something else.
