Pastel Lines

[ET Geckos]

I know there is some debate about "pastel" chahoua. But so far I am happy with how light this line has been. Here are some lovely cell phone pictures.

So beautiful. Is this fired up... or down... or?

 

[ET Geckos]

I would say almost fully fired. The black gets a tad more black..but other than that.

 

[Michael]

Curious if we think these guys would be pastels - thoughts?

Maybe a tad too dark?

Is she fired there, Michael? She's gorgeous! I love that shade. I may be wrong but I think pastel means lighter. I think of pale Easter colors when I hear "pastel". ❤

Yup, those were totally fired up... so... I bet you are right!

@ET Geckos HI I am very curious about an animal that you showed few times : the pink/pastel female out of Wicket X Sparrow.

Unreal!

@Andrea IGA The girl above is actually a baby from her. She's still kicking and light as ever! Got some more eggs from her this year again so yay!

Michael, isn't this Ember when she was younger? That may have been her fired up then but I have never seen her this light, she is always super dark now. Ive even tried getting her out into the sunshine with me for like 20-30 minutes and she doesn't go light.

Yup! That's her! I still have her album up on my photos page on fb... feel free to peruse! You and @TroysGeckos are probably the only two people who can attest to how truly INSANE her colors are.

I think I might take a video of her tomorrow, she really is insane!

Indeed!

Does this count as pastel? This boy is 66g and I still dont know where he is going with his OCC. Fired as dark as he gets in the first two shots and then as light as he gets.

Bill hughes, pair #3. He is also only a year old and has been a beast from the start.

Hi there! I’ve seen the label “pastel” thrown around quite a bit in describing certain lighter than normal colored chahoua. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? What would you consider a pastel? Post away photos please!

Love this topic! There are some nice ones here: https://moderndinosaurgeckos.com/forums/threads/pastel-lines.33/

I know Michael linked a thread above. This girl is my best example in my collection of what I consider "pastel".

 

[ET Geckos]

Here's my main "pastel" female.
Posted it in the other thread but figured I'd bring it to this one as well.
