Thoughts very welcomed on this female Pastel...

tc@screamdreams Mar 31, 2005 08:04 PM

I'm hoping some of you give me your honest opinions on this female Pastel. I picked her up from a very good friend of mine Jared Carr, and she freaking screams YB to me...at least from what I've gathered on "het Ivory's". Thanks in adavance for taking the time to check out more pics at the link below and coming back to tell me your thoughts!!

Every pastel I have ever seen has a yellowish tinge to its belly including my two. From the pic it looks like a beautiful regular pastel to me. Just my opinion have a great day.

I don't know about it being a YB Pastel.....the belly markings are not as prominent........but nonetheless....SHE'S A HOTTIE!!

Very Nice Troy!

tc@screamdreams Mar 31, 2005 09:58 PM

I'll be posting more pics asap. Be sure to scroll down the next page or so and look at some YB beely pics. I'm under the impression that visual characteristics of a true YB are "flames" or very high blushing creeping up the sides ALL the way down the body, also the "granite" or speckled patterning outling a clear or white belly (on the pastels). I need to post more pice but please keep the comments coming!! Thanks!!

HEY Troy, Does the Carrs still have the female that produced your baby? I believe you have a yellowbelly pastel, but that is just my opinion. Yours blowes mine away. I still think I have one but yours in my opinion has a better chance than mine. Yours also almost looks super pastel. Very kool, I hope you hit it. I would still like to see what the Mother/Father looked like. Hey I will be attending the Indy show this month, will you be at that show? Thanks David

Here is my yellow belly photo, However this one is NOT from a proven line hopefully in 06 since it is female. I got it in OHIO as well. Hummmmmakes me wonder, and it was a pastel sibling as well.

He's got some INSANE animals!!! He should be blowing some minds this season and next!! Way too many "special ingredients" to list but trust me...I want one of everything he produces this year...lol...I wish!!! I'm working on his site as we speak, and we're hoping to have it up and running by mid-late spring. I'll keep you posted.

Yes, it was from Special K but he got them from someone else with some pastels, Atleast that is what he told me. I am just crossing my fingers on any and all of my POSS yellow bellies proving out. Well if he has the females of your baby do they look any different? One of them should be have the yellow belly gene in it somewhere. You know when I got that snake in OHIO I never thought of looking through the 3-4 pastels he had to see if they were yellow bellies as well. I was just too excited that I found a snake that pretty. I should see you in Indy. See ya David

That's what I heard as well (regarding Special K). There's no doubt this little girl is staying with me for sure, I want to see what happens with her!! I'm starting to get replied from some very respected names in the industry via email, and I think we all agree - gotta prove her out before anything else. WHich I hope to do in 2006!!

I've seen lots of pastels, but not many that looked like that. Shoot, none that looked exactly like that.

I don't know a whole lot about the yellowbelly thing.... but from what I understand, one of the markers ia a string of splotchy dark small scales lining the belly scales on both sides. I didn't really see that from the pick, but the blushing and the color of the belly scales sure look to be right.

Prover it out and give it a shot... never know.
