IS what separates the true pastel whatevers from the super-clean-light-pretty neo counterparts that darken and dirty up tremendously with age. A true pastel gets better with age.

As Ryan said, knowing the animals are a product of a proven bloodline takes the guessing out of the picture. Certain lines have proven themselves. Then again there are SMOKING animals produced from unknown lineages every day.... but to honestly say they are "pastels" depends, in the long run, on how they develop.

Are yours pastel hypos? I do not know for sure, but they look very, very nice, and better than a lot of the f1 hypos on the market now. Keep the pics coming so we can all see how they develop. My bet is they are.
