Question pastel to be or not to be??

here are some pictures i just snapped of this wierdo bci i got a while ago.. I have sent the pictures to some big boa breeders in the states and they are telling me that she is for sure a pastel. Since i do not know the exact history of the animal, the question remains at large!? comments welcome





Thanks for looking!

If she is, is that a rare and valuable morph? Sorry, I don't really follow the boa threads... yet

Only way to tell is to breed it out.

Looks to me like he/she may be getting ready for a shed (seems like the dull sheen and wrinkles on her side could be an indication of that), be nice to see pics after the shed so the "pastel", if that's for sure what it is, shows up a lot better. Beautiful snake, reminds me of my bci only with pink. I also have a quick question for you guys...my bci has an almost black tail, no red at all but i little bit of brown, is this a locality indicator in any way or just a genetic thing.

Mexicans are like that. I use to have a few. They stay smaller too.

Hi Jeff,

She is a Pastel boa.
Here are some picture of my pastel boa so you can compare the two.

Here she is with a normal BCI.
