Actually the pastel gene is totally missing in the normal animals. The normal gene isn't dominant over the pastel gene, The babies that have one normal and one pastel gene are pastels and the ones that have two pastel genes are super pastel. The 50% is just the odds of the offspring getting a pastel gene from one of the parents, that is why with a super pastel it is impossible for the offsprong to obtain normal genes from both parents. And if you have two normal pastels breeding you actually have a 75% chance of getting pastels, 25% chance for normal, and 25% chance for super pastels, and each individual snake has its own odds that is why you can get all pastel or all normal. The super pastel form would be a pastel with an additional pastel gene. Recessive genes is another story. And random mutations are not likely to happen but it is how all the morphs got here in the first place so I guess two normals could produce a pastel in theory, but not likely.
