Pastel Boa (Boa constrictor imperator)

Pastel Boa
 

BREEDER COMMENTS: “We produced this pastel in 2007 by pairing a 2003 normal male that showed some nice pinks on his sides to a 2004 female pastel. Even though the pastel boa is not a rare or expensive morph, it is still a trait in boas that many keepers fancy and enjoy. It’s one of our favorites. Some breeders use the pastel gene to make salmon, albino and motley boas look a little nicer by adding that pastel touch, which highly reduces black pigment and can result in an explosion of color.”

I am now informed by more experienced keeper's that Boa's can't be Het for Pastel, as Pastel is not a resessive gene, but our babies are defo showing the slight pink coloration in the body, some look for want of a better word Pink n White with a slight orange hue to the body.
