Great how you have been working with them for years to try and prove something before going out and pushing them off to be what they may not, for high dollars...



These are dark animals, kind of like Centrals and Argentines... so to get a lighter animal like that requires lots of black pigment removed... that may very well be hypo. The colors remind me of T Positive Argentine Albinos, but the way you have produced them suggests they are not recessive.



Until you know for sure, I guess you can refer to them as a pastel in the sense that they do follow the definition and characteristics.





Either way, I think they are beautiful! and they are making me start thinking about Dumerils again .. lol
