Help me confirm / or identify boa morph

Hello! I’m trying to confirm or identify my new boa’s morph and what kind of boa she is because I’m really new to them and the bcc, bci etc confuse me. She was sold to me as a “Pink Pastel” but I haven’t been able to find anything online relating to pink pastel.

"pastel" is a line bred trait in boas for low black which usually results in a higher pink showing through. It's not a dom/codom trait, it a normal variable in boas. Some lines are refined enough that names are attached to them. Looks like a very pretty normal boa to me, (Bi which used to be BCi, the classification was changed).
I hope this helps!


edit- I also moved this to the discussion forums

Agreed. I wouldn't call your boa a pastel, but it's a highly subjective term that has unfortunately allowed a lot of people to use it very loosely. It's a nice little common boa.

So from a few people now I’ve been told she’s a common boa. Can I ask what makes a common boa ? I’ve been looking at pics of them and she just doesn’t really look like any of them

Like her tail doesn’t have as much red as they do for example

A common boa just means a normal. They can be extremely variable as at this point there is a lot of different blood in the pool. Primarily Colombian but also a lot of central american and even Suriname and Guyanan blood mixed in. When you look up pics like that, you're probably getting pics of some of the best examples and a lot of people like lots of color in the tails, so those would be more desirable and thus more apt to have pics taken of it.

Boas are very variable as already mentioned above and if you have put boa constrictor into the search engine then the normally come up with loads of pictures of the Surinam/Guyana as already said.
These are a few of the common boas that was in my litter last year

This is my red Pastel boa as you can see there is a massive difference in the red Colour she is with my boa longicauda in the picture

With that last snake being hypo as well, it's not the best comparison to show a pastel. Here's a couple pastels I produced through the years and a couple pastel hypos from my Ferrari line just for fun.

And this is a fun pic for all the people that used to hate "normals". There is only one boa morph in this picture and it's the most "normal" looking boa.
