    Anyone have a super cinny?
    Anyone here have a super cinny? How common is it to get them with the messed up nose? Do they all come out deformed?

    I have heard that super cinnies can have "tweaked heads"... I'll have to do some digging to see if I can find where I read the information....

    I assume its like the caramel kinks...not all are born with it, but its one trait they are occasionally afflicted with... But that's just my pure speculation.;)

    That's one of the bits that I found...I think there was another describing the super cinny head "deformity issues".

    That's what you said when I brought this up in the last Humid Hide chat a few months back :P

    Then I tried to explain it to everyone, the consensus was that I was full of crap :rolleyes: LOL Then I linked some pics from different breeders which I thought showed this defect quite prominently, people argued that they were perfectly normal looking with no defects :rolleyes:

    The best way i can describe it on the ones I've seen is, it looks alot like snake the has developed a lump on the end of its nose due to abcess from rubbing too much etc (which obviously they haven't at birth).. Maybe some of the experts can describe it better :confused:

    Now I finally have a quotable to prove that there was this one time when I wasnt full of crap :P LOL

    Interestingly, some eight-balls are hatched with enlarged snouts or raised bumps on the tops of their noses, cosmetically an undesirable trait.

    One of the first 2 Super Black Pastels ever produced had a cleft pallet...

    I don't know if any Super Cinnys have been produced with this problem...
