>>When I look at the pictures, here is what stands out as far as it not being a Pastel. First off, there is not enough of the "blushing" in the black pattern. There is also not enough of the high yellow associated with the Pastel. Also if you were to turn this animal over, it probably does not exhibit the white belly, and it probably does not have "light" eyes. Also this animal does not have the white labial pits that pastel jungles have, and most pastels at that age have an extremely light head. These are some of the characteristics of a true Pastel Jungle. Now on to the second part of the question. This animal is no doubt an awesome normal. If you were to breed it to another normal, you may end up with better babies, however an even smarter move would be to breed it with a Pastel Jungle. Becuase of the nice colors, and nice clean pattern, the Pastels should come out with even more color, and be above average pastels. Again there is no gaurentee, but pretty normals generally produce better pastels. Hope this helps you out.

the difference between a normal and a morph is determined by how drastic the change in appearance is wether or not that appearance can be consistently passed on to offspring. Is that more accurate?



Is there such a thing as a pastel morph without the "jungle" pattern involved but with a normal pattern instead?



Thanks for your patience here!
