Yeah there is a market for them mostly in crosses though. If you get a male super and breed it to a female visual pied ,ghost, or albino your whole clutch will be pastels 100% het for whatever. Just my two cents.

I just got one. I have wanted one for a few years now and I am completely stoked! I think Steve at Santa Cruz Reptiles has a few more. The possibilities are endless with these buggers.

it all boils down to this, never buy something that you can't afford to loose money on. Your question is "Is there a market for super pastel's?" the answer is yes if you have some adult female morphs to cross it with or several large females to breed it to and create quite a few pastel's. You can easily make your money back in one season if you get an even ratio of male's and female's. You must remember there are no guarentee's when it comes to breeding any animal. It could die, be a poor eater and take 3 seasons to get to breeding size, or could just not show an interest in the ladies. Buy one because it's beautiful and has great potential not because you are going to get rich on it. Just my .02 Josh Hutto
