I totally agree about the term Pastel being used way too much, but look at the criteria for what classifies a boa as a Pastel. It basically amounts to a trait from selective breeding....that is why everyone seems to have pastels in their colections.

Here is another thing that blows my mind...I see alot of boas that I would never call a Pastel, *** but because they are out of a proven pastel bloodline so called ***....they wear the term proudly, and I would not give a hundred bucks for one.

The term is very selective in my opinion, and if a pastel has babies, I do not think they are all pastels...only a select few.
