    Where are the Super Black Pastels?
    Hi. I'm a noob when it comes to morphs, but want to get a cool python. I did some searching around and really like the look of the Super Black Pastels. However, I cannot find them for sale anywhere. I don't know if I'm just blind or if there is a good reason. I heard about the morphs having some common health problems like a duckbill, so is this the case? Thanks for helping out a forum scrub. :snake:

    You can find some but not many due to the high probability of hatching deformed animals. :( so not many people want to work with them.

    I'm trying to hatch some in the next year or two though!

    Thank you. I will continue my hunt. They're too pretty for people to give up on!

    People give up because babies have a risk of hatching with kinked spines. This impacts quality of life and health of the animal. "Too pretty" is a secondary concern to the health and well being of our animals.

    It's just like with the caramels. Caramel albino is a beautiful morph but the kinking has discouraged a lot of people. Luckily, ultramels exist to fill the gap.

    I'm not sure what your budget is but you might want to look into Sumas if you can't find a super black pastel. The sumas are really dark with a neat orangey striping down their back

    This gene combo seems very promising for an all black bp without the genetic issues.

    That's exactly what I was thinking of lol Finding a super pastel would definitely be easier though (and a lot cheaper)
