Hey Guy...you my friend have a nice pile of Pastels...

It is my opinion what has happened with pastels, is that years ago they exhisted in peoples collections and breeders had no idea that they were anything special, so sold off all those gray babies as normals at shows or to the pet shop trade. Then when the breeder is looking for nice big normal females to breed for albinos or Salmons...what does he/she do? They get that nice clean (Pastel) boa to breed to. Eventually people started seeing the different looks that were out there in the Pastels. Now that people are proveing that there is a definite trait with the pastels, all of the newbies to the boa breeding craze...including myself, find that they also have Pastels in their own collection. I think there is alot more to the Pastel than we realize. I doubt people are breeding that trait exclusively, simply because the money is not there yet. I think we have only begun with these Pastels...Andy
