Hi Matt,

That is a really nice looking female, very robust and the side pattern is very clean!

As for pastel... well, IMO, pastel is a line bred trait. So without knowing the lineage of the boa, can't call it a pastel. The whole 'pastel' thing has been thrown around so much in the last few years. People have called my boa below a pastel (I always show the same pic, but I can't help it, I love this one) I just call her a high-pink normal. She was a rescue, so I don't know if she is from a 'pastel-line' or not. Lots of 'normal' boas have good amounts of pink on them, does that mean it's a pastel? You could breed your high-pink boas and down the line call it "Matt's pastel line" or something like that. Anyways, this is all just my humble opinion.
