I feel stupid for even asking a question like this, but I am still new to this whole world of Ball Python morphs, and I am still trying to learn as much as I can.

But tell me if I am right here. A Pastel is co-dominant, meaning if you breed a normal female to say a male pastel (or vice versa?) that the offspring will be 50% pastels and 50% normals? So the normals are just normals obviously, they can't be "het" for a pastel since a pastel is already "het" for a super pastel.

So exactly how did a "Pastel" get produced in the first place?

Tell me if I am right, or back me up and explain it to me if I was a little off lol.
