Hello, had a quick favor to ask. I have been thinking about getting a ball for awhile now, and want a pastel. What do they look like as adults? I've heard of browning out, but what does an adult look like? Super pastels as well? I was also wondering what the NERD lemon pastels look like as adults? Thanks for the help!

Well I have pic.s of my male breeder he is off feed and has been breeding hard and heavy for about 4 weeks now , and the pic.s aren’t the best but here they are anyway , he is really yellow and has not browned out any at all and that not that conmen for a Graziani . David

More pic.s

Each line has their pretty and ugly specimens. Some lines have been selectively bred for brighter yellow and less brown more strictly than others. You asked for info about the NERD lemon line and it is one of the nicest out there. My personal preference is the GCR (Gulf Coast Reptiles) line as they produce some of the nicest around and our founding breeder male is just as bright today as he was when we brought him home and his babies that he has produced all look great (even the ugliest that we produced had no browning out). If your goal is for supers the most outstanding line for that is Ruppels. The Ruppel super is stunning and you will never get tired of looking at them. I've enclosed a pic of our founding male which is GCR line as an example of that line's quality (there is a pic of him as a baby and as an adult, see how much brighter he has gotten with age, that is very rare with pastels but common with the GCR line).

Pastels are the ideal first morph. They are great looking animals and they are very affordable. Like Josh said there are "ugly" specimens of any line, but the morph in general is still one of my favorites. Not to mention it makes EVERY combo look even better. The pics that you see of them do not do them justice no matter how good the pics are. Goto an expo or breeders facility and get the chance to see one in person and I'm sure you will come home with one.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I hope to add a snake in the future, within the year. I live near NERD, so I'll probably getting it from there. Again, thanks for the help and the pics, appreciate it. Have a good night!
