DESCRIPTION Pastels are boas with a high amount of red or pink in their background coloration. In most cases this color is passed on to its offspring, but not all the time. This makes it difficult to label this trait as recessive or co-dominate. Breeding siblings together of proven Pastel bloodlines is usually the only way to insure Pastel babies. Breeding the Pastel trait into Albinos creates Coral Albino Boas.
