    She's really nice, but some pastel boas have sold in the $200 range. If you're trying to sell her, I'd say $300 would be a good price. I don't know how you would determine if she's a super.

    Looks like what is called a "red group" pastel. I dunno why you'd wanna sell that beauty though!

    You probably could, and just space out your feedings a bit more as well.

    Gorgeous gorgeous animal!! So clean and pretty! Post more pics of this guy!!! Id love to see pics in natural sunlight! He looks like a real stunner!:gj:

    As far as my knowledge goes there arent super pastels under the boa morphs....
    So its just a nice pastel, pastel is only a name for an animal witch really has a recessive traight...

    A recessive thraight can be many different things about a boa, for example the clean sides, the orange in the animal, the form of the sadles on the boa, and go on....

    Pastel is just a name to give animals witch are less black, cleaner sides, lichter coloured, cleaner and lighter tail.... it isnt really a morph, but they work out great to clean a morph and make it even better then it was.

    Over here in europe a nice pastel goes for 250 euro's thats about 300 dollars i think... Can't really say how the prices are over there....

    PS
    I really like this boa, if i had to choose a partner for this one i would say arabesque would be really awsome :rolleye2:

    That pretty much nails it.

    That pretty much nails it. No super pastels in boas, it is not a gentic trait but a line breed for lighter cleaner animals.

    Yeah, Possible Red Group, but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure.

    i got him at the repticon show in orlando. wanted to make sure what i got. it said super pastel but i never heard of a boa super pastel. i just figured it was a real nice normal, since pastel boas are just real nice normal boas. is that right? anyways, i was just wanting to know what your opinions were. thanks anymore opinions let me know. thanks

    Yep thats a fact. No super pastels.. If you breed this animal it will be a polygenetic trait, if you put some hogg on it you will even better the pastel look of it, or maybe a redtail... For a morph i would say salmon/hypo or a really dark one, maybe arabesque or a motley.... Really sweet looking animal thats also a fact, but just not what you bought it for... I sure hope you didn't pay the jackpot for it.

    Hard to say what the prices are over there, but with european prices i would say min 150 max 250 dollars...
