How can I tell if it's a Cinny? =o

[ShutUpAndSmile]

So I'm looking a female cinny still. And I'm really bad at morphs. (I have posted a couple of threads asking if they were cinnys) but yeah I'm thinking. Well there is a show coming up maybe I should look. Then I'm like what am I even looking for. Soo...
What are some markers to look for to identify a cinny?

If you're going to a show/expo the vendors should have each snake marked with their morph.

I'd go on Kingsnake Classifieds and Fauna Classifieds and search for cinnys there and look through all the pics to get an "eye" for them (over a google search which can be misleading)

Cinnys are one of the darker morphs. They're a dark brown and have a warm redish-brown tone to their alien heads like actual cinnamon stick color. They have white bellys and black backs that may or may not have dorsal striping. And their sides have a lot of blushing/fading. They look similar to Black pastels. Both are often confused for each other. (except black pastels are known to have little squiggles in their alien heads). Also their alien head markings are sometimes known to float and be connected to each other compared to other morphs.
Their super form is an all black snake.

Also, a good way to tell a cinny from a black pastel is to look at the alien heads on the sides (the O's)...If there is black speckling or squiggles in the brown borders of the O's that is a good indication of a black pastel as opposed to a cinny. Just in case you were wondering lol.

Cinnies have some beautiful flamage for sure. And clear white bellies! IMO, I think a nice Cinny has to have some crazy flamage and an almost completely dark brown head (with the eye stripes just barely showing).

Thanks everyone. =)
