You could name it sarcasm boa. If the shoe fits right?

Why wouldn't Ronne's name come up? He is the one who coined the name and his own bloodline. Seems kind of silly that this was your "secret plan"....To have Ronne's name come up on a Pastel discussion. Genius...........Pure Genius. Gee, this sarcasm thing is pretty fun! I should have tried this on a long time ago. LOL!

"I agree that a "Pastel" is a reduction in the black of the animal. Well, when you reduce the black in a boa, it usually, but not always, turns a pinkish pastel color on it's sides."

You are totally correct. When the black of the animal is washed away the colors will come out and play. But, again.....The color of the boa does not a pastel make. It is the "side effect" IMHO. A good one at that.

"If you look at the "expert", Ronnes "Pastels", this is how most of them look. That pink color is what gives his Pastel albinos their color."

True as well. Again, the color is the by-product. But, then again...........Ronne has made some Ivory boas. These are pastel anerys. No "color" involved. Just a washed out anery. So, this is the "flip side" to your point. I think Ronne is doing what any other person would do. He has worked hard and created a line that differentiates himself from others. Now he is plugging his line into other morphs. The pastel gene is being introduced into these morphs so the pastel name is attached to it.

"I have decided since Jeff Ronne can name a boa, so can I. Guy, you have inspired me. I am naming a boa that I have, the Pastel Scmastel boa. Pictures available upon request. LMAO."

Nothing like being disrespectful to someone who has been a founding member to our little boa community. It's really easy to name a boa. Go for it!

"When is someone that calls himself an "expert" going to take the $1000 Daytona show challenge? I'm waiting. If you say you will, I will make sure you do, or I will call you a wuss... here..... there.... and everywhere.... for the rest of your life. LOL"

Oh my gosh............The gauntlet has been thrown. What are we all to do???? Us pastel breeder MUST band together!!! He might.....Call us.....A....Wuss............. And, I'm such a tiny fella to being with. What am I to do?

Have fun with your "challenge".
