Super Pastels - sometimes referred to as Opals - are the homozygous form of the Pastel Jungle trait. When bred to a normal ball python, all of the resulting offspring are Pastel Jungles. Due to their ability to only pass along Pastel genes when bred to other mutations, Super Pastels are extremely valuable animals when considering combination projects. The Super Pastel was also the first known representation of a "super"/homozygous form in ball python mutations, produced at NERD in 1999, and added another level of excitement to proving out new morphs in hope of finding a radically different homozygous appearance. These beautiful, extreme yellow snakes have drastically faded heads & extensive blushing throughout the pattern that often takes on a purplish-grey appearance. Super Pastels are simply gorgeous! |
