What is this morph

The guy seemed uneducated and clueless he didn't no the sire nor dam nor the other possible genetics of the animal so I bought it to prove him with a few normals.

I would put him with a Cinnamon...a 1700+ gram proven breeder Cinnamon...I know where you can get one cheap...

The yellow is pretty bright and with the extra bit of head fade, I wonder if it may be Pastel Vanilla? Otherwise it is just a really nice Pastel. For $50, if you wanted to add Pastel to your collection, I think its worth pickin up. Good luck and hopefully there is a bonus floating around in there.

lol ^^

i looked at this after only one response was there, kylearmbar saying he sees super pastel. and i looked at it and the first thing that went into my mind was "pastel". but the way you worded the original post, i was assuming that its got to be one more gene and im just not seeing it. i didnt see firefly or enchi pastel or pastave, and i assumed there is no yellowbelly simply because you didnt include belly shots.

now its quite clear to me: nice pastel, a good one. if there is anything else in there, then it has to be a subtle morph.

Does not have the headstamp of an Enchi Pastel. Possibly a Super Pastel.....

Enchi Pastel


Super Pastel

what are you going to gain when you breed a male that is most likely just a nice pastel to a bunch of normal females? what if you get 50% pastels and 50% normals? thats maybe around 30 dollars per egg if you sell the hatchlings, not considering any costs like feeding all the hatchlings, hatchling rack, and so on.

worst case scenario is that you have a proven pastel male, and you have had a bunch of females produce eggs while being bred to just a single gene pastel instead of... i dont know... something with 3 or 4 genes in it or a banana or something, and you have a bunch of normal hatchlings and pastel hatchlings for sale.

i mean, sure, you can do it, im sure the hatchlings will look cute and be healthy and you will get them sold when the price is low enough, but you can do better. when you have a few normal females ready to breed, at least use a triple gene male or something.

This is very true I figured a normal female because it would be the simplest way to prove out what else is at play if anything. The money isnt what I'm after in this scenario I just want to know what's causing this superb pastel . I can take a loss on a clutch for one year to hopefully prove something different is in there .

maybe people finally produce more high quality pastel, and better lines like citrus pastel, lemon pastel or blonde pastel are getting mixed in all the time?

it being a superb pastel doesnt change that there most likely isnt another gene involved, if you manage to produce more like these you will be the one selling them for 50 dollars, contributing to the nice-pastels-for-50-bucks segment of the market.

most likely whats causing this is really simple: breed a superb pastel, hatch a superb pastel. what else do you expect to find out?

The fact he was sold for 50$ the breeder said it was a friends clutch and he said he is selling it for 50 because he doesn't know what else is in it if anything. He said its a pastel + ..

How hard it is to sell Pastels?
