Pastel Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds
Pastel is a co-dominant (incomplete dominant) gene. One copy gives the Pastel look, and two copies make the Super Pastel, a stronger version of it. Bred to a normal, a Pastel gives about half Pastel babies; a Super Pastel gives Pastel babies every time.
