If the Pastel actually proves out to be Het for Hypo - (Statiscally now) Half the clutch will come out Pastels then one Hypo, and a couple 66% hets. I may be wrong
If the Pastel doesnt prove out to be Het for Hypo - Half the clutch will be Pastel's and then you will have some 50% hets.

So there is such thing as het pastels and if so mine would be 50%

No, the pastel is a co-dominant morph (basically its the het form of the Super Pastel) But you only hear the word "het" when talking about simple recessive (ie. Hypo) Your Pastel is 50% het for Hypo so you have a 50/50 chance that he actually carries that gene.

Ok what would the 66% be that you said some may be if he proved out? and how would I know which was which? Forgive me I'm a colubrid man and not up on ball morphs.
God Bless

IF it proves to be het you can get- ghosts , pastels, normals, and maybe pasel ghost

......IF it doesn't prove out this year ( it may be het yet you get no ghosts first time)......you will get pastels and or normals......all will be 50% poss het for ghost due to the one actually being 100% het from the breeding...

.........you cannot tell normsl,50% poss, 100% het,66% poss hets apart........that's why they are called possibles
