Opinions on investing in black pastels vs regular pastel? What to look for in investment quality animals…..I do see differences and the uniqueness of the black pastel morph but the colors to me can resemble a really really nice regular but higher black which makes me wonder how distinctive the morph looks in adult animals. Do the colors fade as they get older many morphs do? Does anyone have pics of older animals? I don’t think I’d enjoy investing about $1000 in an animal that will eventually look quite ordinary…..

The pattern on a black pastel is more "aberant" than a normal with really nice flaming on grade A specimins. The super (homozygous) form is a solid black or dark brown snake.

"Can't you just feed it vegetables"? No, no I can't you stupid hippie.

While the Super form of Pastel is drop dead gorgous, the Super form of the Black Pastel is a solid Patternless Black Ball, Which is WAY cool in my opinion. True the Balck pastels do look like a dark normal in general, there are suttle differences between them and normals, its the Super Black Pastel that is the real different one...

Cinnamons are another line that produces a solid Patternless Ball in the super form, I personally like Cinnamons better as you can find very light brown back versions, that to me look more eye appealing than most Black Pastels...But some people say the Black Pastel produces a darker Brown/Black Super where the Cinnamons produce a more lighter Brown version...But both are Awsome...I can't wait to see the Albino Super Cinnamon or Albino Super Black Pastel...

Best of luck picking one out...If your anything like us, soon you'll be planning on having as many as you can get..
