Morph?

[PrettyInInk87]

I do not own any pastel boas, and do not know too much about them. However, from what I have seen on the net, your does share at least one characteristic of a pastel, which is the pink hue down its sides. Pretty boa either way. Yes, the boa will eventually darken. It surprises me sometimes how their colors change so drastically from baby to adult. My adult salmon male looks nothing like when I acquired him at a few months old.

Boas are really tough to take pics of. Once out of their cage, they are all over the place. The last pic is a good one. It shows off his colors nicely.

My little guy was surprisingly calm and just hung out on my shoulders the day he was dropped off but it could have been because it was a new environment.
The second set of pictures is are ones of my brother in laws female while the first set are of my little guy. Castro (my RTB) has VERY little pinks on his body and is a lot lighter than the other including his "red tail". His head and body are almost a white in color, or creamy white.

I just realized that I have a pic of my salmon as a baby on my photobucket.

Sorry about the bad pic.

Wow, He's beautiful! It is quite a difference but still pretty.

Pastel isnt really a morph. You can goto redtailboas.com and look it up.

It was line bred over many years by some people like Jeff Ronne, Clay English to produce lighter color boas.

Theres a writeup of Jeff's "pastel dream"

I tried joining that forum multiple times already and just gave up. I was not able to access any of the threads. Maybe they need time to approve my account but I just got tired of waiting. I'll definitely check it out again though. Thank you!
