I have not purchased or raised any pastel siblings but I don't think the sellers are trying to fool anybody or suckers as referred to in one of the other post. Some may be trying to dupe or mislead somebody that is still thinking hets when the morph is co-dominant. I've asked a few different breeders about these. There is some "Marketing" going on but they all mentioned two things, CB, and better looking/more colorful hatchlings. Since I have not raised any I cannot say.
This may be a carry over from the boa breeders meaning that the ball breeders are just copying the boa breeders. Boa breeders that produce a litter from a hypo breeding generally get more for the non-hypo siblings than a normal BCI. Same claim of better color. From what I have seen, with boas it is true. Not always 100% but the non-hypo siblings that I have seen did have better color.
Just an opinion
