Felt like sharing a pic of some pastels.....

Gorgeous pastels - are they all from the same bloodline, or are they from different lines? I'm working up to buying a pastel and am trying to get all the info I can in order to make an informed decision! Thanks...

Pictured are a Lemon Pastel, Ruppel Pastel, Bell Pastel and Gnaizdowski pastel.......and if you look closely you'll see one of the special little pastels i produced this year hiding out.....

Pastels are awesome snakes and the potential with them is staggering!

Ah, silly me - same snakes as in the photo you posted previously! Do you have a particular "favorite" line? I know that the best strategy is to pick a great-looking individual (or individuals) from great-looking parents - but do you find that one line or another consistently produces great-looking individuals that hold their color well? I'm currently considering a pastel from either Bell, BHB, or Graziani bloodlines (might be a while before I can get it, but this is definitely the next step in my plans)...any thoughts? Thanks so much!

I personally like Bell line pastels.........but Bell's and Graziani's both make incredible super pastels. I am extremely happy with the babies that my bell male sired this year.
