Pastel Dumerils:

Copper colored saddles throughout. Complete reduction of background black pigment, leaving only grey. Ivory and pink highlights. Pastel orange head and facial markings.

Thanks all-

Matt before you turn Dumerils into the freak show the BP's have become once I again I ask what makes that a pastel? what you have pictured above is a very nice dumerils but what is pictured and desrcided is NOTHING more then a very nice normal Dumerils, there is nothing special about it except it is above average, nothing more, that is not pastel to find ones like that are not even rare, so please drop all the other nonsense and lets discuss the animal in the pic above and that only. Its a nice animal dude but its not rare uncommon nor pastel

Even though the pastel portion of this line is still in developement, the f1's that I've produced so far are as different from normals as "Mandarin Phase" Madagascar Tree Boas are to Normal MTB's. That's not to say that the f1's do not have pastel tendencies but further breedings will no doubt produce very light, orange saddled Dumerils. This is actually something I haven't thought of until now, the "Mandarin Phase" MTB. This trait is actually quite similar in how the boas produce color. However, I know nothing about the trait's transimition in MTB. This is something that I'm looking into.
