Hypo/Pastel Checkered gave birth today-ironically

Jeff, I'm forced, kicking and screaming, to be dragged back to the view that there is indeed a "Super" form to this gene. I can't think of any other explanation that is nearly as likely.

I'm thinking the same Brad, time will tell, even though I only have these 3 and mom I think I will be able to hopefully add to and support your data, and of course you will also likely add more data next year. I think if I can duplicate your results and you also duplicate them there will be significant evidence. The other thing to do is breed one of your supers to a normal or saaaaay a granite, and see if all babies are visual pastels. I think one thing that is confusing is that the adults do fade a bit, rather than getting brighter or holding that lemon yellow, but it reminds me a lot of the pastel ball python gene, same thing, they usually brown out a bit.
