Yes the Pastel Whirlwind or Pastel Specter is pretty wicked. For the record the Specter name was later used by the founder of the original SS project which incidentally the original female Specter is clearly different looking than my original founding female Whirlwind. I've also been told the 2 lines have totally diffferent looking belly markings too so it isn't 100% known if they are the exact same things, but may in the end be slightly different morphs that are just on the same alleles, it all depends on how variable the Mystery gene is . If they are highly variable then they are the same , if not they are different morphs that produce similiar results bred to the YB gene, only time will tell. Also it will be interesting to compare the results when the Whirlwinds and Specters are crossed into other non Yb related morphs, if they make different looking crosses that too will speak volumes, if they make the same things then they are one in the same afterall, only by breeding will we know for sure as they have some differences for sure, much like a Cinny differs from a Black Pastel. I have yet to produce a Whirlwind with much of any markings on the center of the belly, Jareds line from what I've been told often times have alot of belly markings in there centers, that seems very odd to me.
This Pastel once proven to carry the Mystery gene should go nice with female Pastel Ivories and female Pastel Yb's for sure. Super Pastel Super Stripes should be pretty mind blowing.
