I think the pattern is cool on that snake. I'm looking at a few normals (related) that have some off the wall patterns that I was hoping to incorporate into my single gene mad scientist projects. I can't tell visually what is different about the monarch from a normal. I saw your originals in from 99 and WOW was that the standard for pastels back then? If I posted that now people would tell me I had a normal lol Maybe not that bad but still, they did have awesome blushing. That gene (pastel) has come a LONG way!
I was wondering how the stripe is included in any of this. Is that part of the gene or was there a het some where...
I'm confused because it looks like the ghost gene when combined with the pastel and super pastel but it brightens up the genetic stripe? Some of your old pictures are gone too.
So the 99 pastels produced a genetic stripe offspring, pastels, super pastels and???
