OK, we all know that Pastels have come way down in price. Boo Hoo. Are any of the designer Pastels worth a premium, or is it all marketing gimmicks. I think those with stunning examples of Lemons, Blondes, Graziani, VPI, Bell, and other Pastels should post some pics, baby pics and adult pics. I for one would like to see some side by side pics too, and decide if any one of them is worth paying a bit more for. Any takers?
My pic, from left to right, VPI, VPI, Sutherland Line Pastels as babies.

I AM SERIOUSLY DREWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUTRAGSEOUS.....
well here is my new addition a grazi/norm:
Here is my nicest female pastel...she is a year old and has not browned out. Still trying to decide what to do with her, pewters or supers???
Both previous female and this male are Graziani, have others but are much more normal looking and have browned out some... I really think that selective breeding makes the differance, I have seen good and bad of all lines and I try to breed with what I think will make the best looking animals...I would love input as to what kind of normals everyone breeds to each type of morph to get the best results although I know everyone has their secrets....and I am sure most do not want to share...LOL
This is a female I traded off a month or two ago. She was nice, hoping to have another like her some day.

There's a pic of him at around 500 grams, and a pic of him with a 2500+ gram female, then the last photo is of him when i first got him at around 100 grams. Right now I have a 750 gram Graziani line male in full blue so I'll post pics of him after he sheds.
