    Question Difference between Pastel Ghost and Super Pastel?

    So, I have a female Pastel that could be het for ghost and a male Spider that could also be het for ghost.
    This year I got a clutch of 10 eggs.
    2 x normals
    4 x bumblebees
    3 x pastels

    and this little female:





    She has that faded head and a lot of blushing on her back. The thing is, last year I´ve paired the female pastel to a male pastel. (but I got no eggs from that pairing)
    So.... is she a ghost pastel or a super pastel???!!!
    Any input is greatly apreciated!
    P.S.: Her pattern is very different from the other 3 pastels I´ve got from this clutch.
    Sorry for my english, not my first language

    Re: Difference between Pastel Ghost and Super Pastel?

    Now someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong here. I'm starting to work with the Ghost gene myself, and I think there might be an easy way to tell but you'll need to wait till after the first shed. A BP with a visual Ghost gene will produce a shed with no pattern on it. If it's completely clear, I'd say you have a Ghost.

    I think owal has it right super pastel too much blushing on the head for a pastel ghost. But as said i
    Can not be 100% but am 95%
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Pics of them in the same picture, your white balance different in every picture making it hard to compare. What I will actually want to compare is the black areas, pastel hypos will normally have a lighter shade of black across the snake. Where a super pastel tends to be the same, just blushed more.

    Another vote for super pastel. With ghost you wont have blacks that deep.
