Are you referring to the KILLER dorsal stripe on that girl??



Reason I guess that is the majority of Pastels I've seen tend to lean more in the direction of blackback than dorsal striped.



Maybe your particular colony/group of genetic stripe and hets throws a 'lesser' version in the het form?? Hmm...



Alot of Corns het for Caramel (hyperxanthism) show more yellow pigments than normals but less than homo Caramels. Same goes with het for Bloodred corns with regard to red pigments.



I'm sure there are more examples in herpetoculture of recessive traits exhibited to a lesser degree in het animals, but it's laaaaaate and my brain is foggy/sleepy.
