Not true at all. lots of Lines are just selectivly bred morphs through the snake world. and by your definition a breeder in africa could be selling the same pastel offspring to people here and their calling them different things. Its just a name.

and even if I wanted I could take a matrix pastel and breed it to a normal and call the offspring what ever line I want. "Loser Line Pastel" why not? Just what do you think people are going to want? a matrix line that you can trace back to its roots... or this dudes random line we've never herd of?

but If you started to mix and match pastels and produce something more intense like a even higher yellow pastel or something with more intense blushing that we see now, it would be just a mutt of pastel lines selectivly bred. boom new line. and i hope to god you would give it a name so im not just buying "some pastel"
