OK... you're crazy.

Some people like low white Pieds, it's all just a matter of personal taste. I've shown my collection to a handful of "non-snake people" and only the Piebald gets more of a reaction than the Firefly. People always say it but the pictures really do them no justice.

One thing is certain though, the Firefly will get better and better as it lightens with age while the Super Pastel will only get more brown over time. We all know babies that look spectacular can turn into less than impressive adults. Unfortunately that awesome baby period only lasts a short time. I know a couple Firefly animals were produced in 2006. There are plenty of Super Pastels out there as well. Hopefully someone will post some adult photos of each.

I still love Super Pastels but I think the Firefly is a better looking animal with better cross potential. We should be seeing some Pastel Fire Spiders and Pastel Fire Pinstripes this year (and hopefully some other new stuff). Crosses are what it's all about.
