Shed testing black pastel and barnhart

[armiyana]

Well… If it was sold as a Barnhart, I would be inclined to trust a name like that in the industry.

But on the other hand… lol. I just had the same problem but with BEL genes. I tested one for Special because it was a super mojave or Crystal. It tested negative so I decided what the heck. And tested Mojo to be sure cause it is very crystal looking. Single gene Moj. So looks like I have Noco Or TGR Special not Baker line. And my original breeder was purchased from Baker lineage.

It was sold as a Black Pastel, Chocolate. So if its a cinnamon im gonna be a little peeved. Because i also never hit anything chocolate from that female.

I feel like it shows how seriously needed shed testing really is. Great service RGI is providing.

Well what do you see when you look at the animal out of curiosity lol

To my eye, it looks BlkPastel. But I do not work with Clown so…

What was the pairing? That may influence my answer

Also, I will add that sometimes tests do go wrong, it is not with a high frequency, but it does happen. So might not be a bad idea to ask Ben to re-run the BlkP assay on this one just in case

pairing for the pictured animal was Black Pastel, Spotnose, Het Clown x OD, Fire, Blade, Clown

These are my two holdbacks from the “black pastel” chocolate female i bought. No longer own her. I had both these girls labeled as Black Pastel Spotnose. All my current “black pastel” hatchlings are from these two girls.
