It is a co-dominant trait. Super is not a qualifier based on grading, it is what the snake is. It is either super, or a pastel.

Some pastels look better than some supers. Just depends on the grade and the selective breeding.

Thanks Bruce. Please bare with me and answer again.

I know this. BUT... when you mate a pastel x pastel unless I am wrong..

50% will be pastel
25% will be normal
25% will be super pastel

My question is... with the clutch from this pairing, what exactly defines if that 25 % super realy is super. At hatchling age, how do you know for sure what is a super, and what is a "nice" pastel...

Am I maknig sense here?
