    There is a couple more morphs in the bel complex that could throw you off aswell. The mocha does not always make a bel with other morphs in the bel complex. Also the special which makes the crystal, but also a super special is a colored animal. Love all these morph videos, especially when you show the bel complex.

    I actually have a super mystic male! I only just recently realized mystic was in the BEL complex myself 😂 I’m planning on pairing him to my super mojave pastel female once she’s big enough, so I’d get all mystic potions and half of those would hopefully have pastel as well. Lots of fun!
