    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a Sundial Reptile coral male who I am considering finding a mate. I liked his mothers look (Blanca) who is what I believe a pastel. I am wondering what is the real difference between a pastel and a snow. And does nail color indicate one or the other? Also I would like to raise the girl and so I was hoping anyone with experience could give me some tips on what to look for in a young dragon in hopes of it posessing that nice pastel or whitish look as an adult.

Here's my male

Ya, I wonder too...

I have been looking into this and I think there are a lot of shared terms being used. The clear nail color does seem to be a visible trait for either hypomelanistic or luecistic(sp?). But I could be wrong on this as well as I see many people stating "clear nails" on a lot of dragons these days.
Any advice or clarification would be great.

Hi, I have no idea what the correct answer is for this and wont attempt it. I would direct the question to whom you bought your dragon off of (Sundial) since it has been on here for 2 weeks and no one has shared any info. Matt at Mysticaldragons.com has some nice hypos coming up, if your looking to buy I'm sure he'll break it down for you. Also whatever info you find come back and share please. Charlie
 
Tried that...

Thanks Charlie,
I have tried but I think the bigger breeders are in the heart of hatching and shows right now and may not have the time to break all this down. I e-mailed one other big breeder but I may just do like you said and send a note to the person you listed. I'm not sure this forum gets as many hits as it use to so maybe that's what's going on as well. I see that the Dachiu site has a nice break down of information but I would love to have a discussion about what they have to say.
Thanks
JB
 
I could attempt to break things down for you but I'm sure I would just end up confusing you. It still confuses me just thinking about it...... Lol

I'll see if I can get a good break down together for ya and post it or have someone else with a better grasp on it to post.
