to create a pastel motely corn?
I saw one recently when i bought some new corns and im dying to know how to create them myself because it was absolutely gorgeous little thing.
if anyone knows I'd be really greatful if you could enlighten me :)
 
Most pastels are ghost, you would need to combine hypomelanistic, anerythryistic and motley genes. The fastest way is to get two pastel motleys and breed them together, or you could get hets. Not ALL ghosts are pastel so if you got animals het for motley ghost you'd want to try and get a look at the parents and at least get an idea on their coloration.
 
If you want to breed your own it would take about 6 years if you start with basic snakes.

Buy a '07 (pastel) ghost and a '07 normal motley. Breed them in 2010. Save a male and a female baby from those. Then in 2013 breed them to each other. Voila - Pastel Motley!

I'd just buy one... they aren't expensive. :D
 
Well... if you want the thrill of breeding your own... cornutopia.com (Kathy Love) has some snakes that could get you there... I recommend a female hypo-motley and a male ghost.

Their babies would be hypos het motley and anery. You save back a pair of those and breed them and you get ghost motleys.

The male ghosts Kathy produces are pretty light colored. Dunno if I would consider them "pastel".

I have never understood the whole "pastel" thing... seems to be just line breeding for light colored ghosts.
 
well at the minute ive got 2 female ghosts. 1 is quite dark but the other is extremely light, it was one of Stephen Sharps' and it is absolutely gorgeous. Someone I know has a pastel motely but it has 2 kinks in it, what a gutter haha. I do want to breed them myself instead of just buying a pair though :)
 
Then I'd find a hypo motley or an anery motley to go with your light ghost and get started. :D
 
well i just got myself a hypo
so im on the hunt
:)

ive got 2 het butter stripes now
so hopefully i'll be producing them next year providing their up to size and are nice and healthy of course
