NERD vs. Graziani pastels

gone_balls_crazy May 24, 2004 12:37 PM

I was wondering if anyone could post some pics of the two so we could see if there are any big differences. Your thoughts as well on the two!

I like the Graziani/Bell lines much better than the Lemon (NERD) line. The Lemons just look like a high yellow with crisp clean patterns (alot of them turn ugly brown as adults). The Graziani/Bell pastels usually have alot of blushing, so if they turn an ugly brown as adults you at least have an animal that still looks better than your average normal. They all vary too much to say wich is better, but Lemons are more $$ (I have no idea why), and less attractive IMO. Pick the ones that are most appealing to you.

This is just my opinion, so please don't take offense to it.

Well I hope this helps. this is my N.E.R.D Line male pastel 800 grams and just under a year old.

The link is to Graziani's mutation page and one of their adult pastels. Really it's up to the individual to decide which snake is right for them. Best of luck deciding.

a good nerd pastel.......

I've seen good ones and bad ones
from Kev .......

guess you would have to make sure you get the type/color you want from them......I know they have nice ones.....

(they are all decended from Graziani.....so the females they were all bred to over the last few years makes a difference)...

Both NERD line and Graziani line can look fantastic and both can dull out and look bad over time.
The question I have is can/does a beautiful male pastel produce both good, average, and below average offspring?...tranversly can a below average male produce trophy animals?

I'm not positive, but I think it would depend on how the animal the pastel was bred with looked also.
