Pastels or Normals????

[Steve143]

so i just bought two pastel babies from a reputable dealer...but now that theyre home, im starting to wonder whether they are in fact pastels and not just normals...they might also be cinnamon pastels...anybody here have any idea? there is pics of them in my gallery....in real life, their colours look most like pictures Pastel 1 and Pastel 2.

thanks

steve

oh and does anyone know why it says i cant post attachments?

They look normal to me...how much did you pay for them, if that's not too nosey?
Are you housing them together?

[qiksilver]

um... how reputable?

[Steve143]

theyre from the same clutch, and theyre still together for now..


i got them from a reptile supplier who is also related to me so i dont think they would lie, but i dont know..


because im related i didnt pay the sticker price...so not too much but still i asked for pastels...

[Steve143]

Well theyve been in the business for years, they sell tarantulas, every lizard under the sun, scorpions, and almost every type of snake...they sell at reptile shows..


what do you think i should do?

[Sausage]

First, you should separate them. Even though we imagine that they like to have buddies, they really don't. It stresses them out and in some cases, cannibalism has occurred.

As for the price you payed, how much did you pay? Just curious.

[SarahMB]

Does this supplier have a website? I don't think anyone can tell you what to do, but they don't look like pastels to me, from those shots. I'm no expert, but that's my opinion.
And they do need to be seperated, from the same clutch or not.

[Steve143]

well it kind of sucks that they have to be separated because i just set them up in a 50-60 gallon tank..but thanks

i payed $30 canadian each

What a rat! They look VERY normal to me.

[Sausage]

You could buy a piece of wood and stick it in the middle as a divider. That way you'd have two 30 gals.

Oh, and $30 sounds like a cheap price for a normal.
