Thanks for explaining all of that. It makes it a little clearer for me. LOL. My one question is explaining the difference between hypos and pastels to other people who don't know anything about boas. I was explaining pastels to my little brother the other day and he said "Wait, I thought hypos had reduced black." I really didn't know what to say. He could see the difference between the two but if I didn't have pictures to show I would have no idea how to explain the difference. Hypo meens reduced black pigment and pastels have reduced black. Any ideas on explaining the difference?

Also, obviously(sp) if you breed a pastel to a salmon you get pastel salmons. But its hard to explain this one too. They both have reduced black, now do the babies have extra reduced black (I know that didn't make any sense). But my point is that I have heard that pastel has NOTHING to do with color. But all of the pastel salmons I have seen have an extra pink and red look to them, so in my mind it does have something to do with color. Any thought? Thanks.
