Orange Dream. What is the big deal?

[satomi325]

OD is an overpriced pastel, looks almost the same works almost the same, most morphs you cant even see the influence. Wait a few yrs when there 100$, dont waste 5k on a pastel

Lmao. Good one. Bet you think pastel looks like a normal next.

Reviving an old thread, because I'm curious to see if anyone's changed their opinions on the Orange Dream morph and its value (or lack thereof) in their rack.

So, a year later:

Those that said "yes"- is it just as valuable? More?
Those that said "no"- do you still think it's overrated?

Just curious.

I totally hear where you are coming from. I had been looking at the orange dream in comparison with yellowbelly (my wife really wants a pumpkin pied) and couldn't really find anything too crazy. I guess if you want a solid yellow BP its apparently the way to go.

However, the ITS AMAZING pictures are all these crazy 5 gene animals... i guess i think most 5 gene animals look amazing... and most are more interesting. I seriously doubt anyone here thinks those day-glow yellow snakes from Ozzy stay anything close to that color for longer than a couple months. And honestly they really lack in pattern interest.

Compare it to a... I don't know... Fire, Spider, Super Pastel, Yellow Belly (swapped the super OD for super pastel) and you have a far more interesting looking animal which admittedly doesn't hurt as much to look at directly.

So ya, i guess some combos with OD look cool but I'm in your boat, i don't understand the hype either.

Exactly, look at how mellow they are compared to the highlighter yellow of the babies. Seems like they dim down like any other pastel.

It's important for the variation of the hobby I think that everyone has their personal preferences to sustain a gene and work with it.

In the video on the Orange Dream page, he says what he's excited about is the OD Spider, which seems easy enough.

the OD certainly seems to bring some pattern reduction that the pastel does not offer.

OD and YB really amp the colors up. Those animals may have mellowed out a bit as they aged but they did not brown out like a pastel would. Everyone has their own preference and I don't like OD on its own but would love to add an ODYB to my collection.

I have a Pastel Orange Dream. I can't wait to work Fire and Mystic into her. It's a different look than Super Pastel. Is it worth the price? That's up to each buyer. I agree that Orange Dream by itself, even my Pastel Orange Dream, aren't impressive on their own, but I like what Orange Dream does in combinstions. And, what it does in combinations, is different enough from Pastel, Yellowbelly, or any other gene, to make it worth getting for me.

I donno guys this is a OD 100% het hypo I hatched ad I'd say for a base gene this blows pastel out of the water!


And the Dream Hypos!


Enough said OD>Pastel

Just my opinion though....
