Dude, I dunno if i'm the only one but the first time I read your name i thought it said slytherin 1. Guess that's the geek in me.
Never really checked out the boas before, but I help keep a small amount of balls, including a pastel. I'm a snake dunce so sometimes pastels look really normal to me and sometimes they look really different, guess I just don't have the eye that some folks do.
