    Thanks everyone. They are very well tempered and we got a great deal on them. We just got through talking to the guy who owned them before us and he was a boa breeder. According to him:

    Rah the male was born in Late May 2005 and has fathered 3 groups of babies including one that belonged to the female we bought with him.

    Isis the female was born in Early June 2006 and has mothered a group of 16 live and healthy young. 3 stillborn and 2 slugs.

    We brought them home on Sunday and against my better judgement decided to try feeding them F/T on Monday. To my surprise they both took and freaked me out a little actually! LOL Their feeding response was crazy, and these being my first big snakes, I wasn't really prepared for it. But they took and coiled and ate no problem!

    We're still giving them a week before we play with them but once we pull them out we will take lots of pictures to share with everyone.

    Thanks for reading

    Pastel in boas is a poly-genetic trait. Pastels have reduced black pigment with a general washed out side markings. Usually a reduced amount of speckles as well. Color has nothing to do with it, but it does allow the color to be seen better. It is a bit of subjective and I believe there are degrees of pastel. I have seen some fairly low color pastels and seen high color none pastels.

    Beautiful and a heck of a deal.
