I would say yes and no. No because the side blotches are not that faded and it is a very high contrast boa. Yes because it has a very light and clean background with beautiful colors and markings. Yes because the Pastel trait is not an all or none trait, meaning their are different levels of pastelism. You will know for sure as it gets bigger because Pastels are not supposed to muddy up with age. Pastel or not it is a spectacular animal.

It looks just like my two normals.

Looks a lot like my precious Anubis:

... who is also a normal. Pastels usually have almost no black in the tail, whereas the normals have the super high speckling in the tail. Nonetheless, yours is a gorgeous snake, and the super light coloration, high pink, and clean background are VERY desireable traits in boas.
