New addition : 2015 Super granite checkered garter

Hmm. Does the granite mute the yellow of the pastel? Because the super pastels (sans granite) I've seen are more obviously yellow. Even the hets are, as babies.

ARCH3R, granite is only visible when homozygous. Pastel is...co-dom, sort of? Het babies are visually different from normals, in that they are far more yellow, but mature into the normal olive coloring. Homozygous or super pastels are visibly yellow as adults.

At least, that's my understanding of it.

Well, thanks for that. This girl is a tanned color with the black granite hashes (as you can see). She does appear to be the same color as when she was born. I guess time will tell. Most of the granites I have seen are a off white color with black hashing unless they were albino granite checkereds who are yellow. Thanks.
