No. The first pastel came from Africa as an import.. Just like the first Banana. The Ghana ball python breeders and collectors save the craziest looking ones and offer them to their best international customers for top dollar. Then it would have been bred here, proven to be a co-Dom trait, and there ya go.
I know they came from africa but the first one had to come from normals or did it just fall from the sky?

Its a genetic mutation, so technically yes, they did come from normals.

They're random mutations off the normal wild type.
But it's basically the same thing as saying how there are many different colored domestic rats. The original wild type rats are brown(agouti). And all the other colors are mutations that occurred randomly.

Re: New Lesser
Since everyone is having so much fun posting Lesser pics, here is a nice lesser I produced this season. Let it serve as another reference lol.
If the first pastel or any other morph for that matter came from normals how can anyone say if there was no pastel in the breeding its not possible for it to have pastel in it? I agree you have to breed it to prove whether it has pastel in it or not but anything is possible.
