I like the Axanthic Pastel better.

I haven't seen the Albino Pastel yet. Who has one? Link?

Thanks,
Chris

I'm pretty sure Reptile Industries prodiced it, It looks like an albino with a lavender/pinkish faded head. Very nice looking.

They have no site.

Mark and Kim Bell, yes? I was told this same rumor that they had produced it. I am still awaiting photographs as well.

Hi there I have seen it I have pics but I do not think it would be right to post without there consent. Try and give Mark or Kim a call and see if they will post the pics. Personally I did not care for it although I thought the same thing about the Axanthic Pastel of Nerds until I seen it in the most recent pics and I really like it, so we will have to wait and see what it looks like after a shed or two

I'd have to say the axanthic pastel...but I want to see what they'll look like when they get older....maybe the albino will keep the high contrast look instead of fading into the white?...we'll see....

I have the pic...but I don't think I should be the one posting it....

But it does look visually different from a normal albino right?

From the two pics that I've seen, they look very similar to an albino. Really is hard to tell the difference. The fact that they were produced and don't look as 'different' as many had hoped is just not good enough of a reason for me to sell off my 3.0 pastel het albinos for albino or even pastel prices though. I think that we're going to see some great things from this morph as they mature and colour up.

I've seen pics now and while they do look very much like an albino, there are a few things that are unique. The head for one thing is very interesting looking, very white with almost a lavender glow to it. Also the yellow blotches seem to be two toned, with yellow and more intense yellow. It's a very subtle difference but it's still a noticeable difference, actaully I kind of liked it. What I really want to know if what it's going to look like in a year when it finally gets it's full color....

And whats up in the future? Is someone going to breed an axanthic pastel with an albino pastel and produce double het for snow pastels? LOL, that almost sounds like an incredible waste of time. A pastel snow. or better yet, a super pastel snow. Seems like a self defeating project. Still, you really never know what ANYTHING is going to look like until you actually produce it. Who knows? It could be really cool....
