looking for clarification on specific morph of BP breeding

is the black pastel different from the cinnamon? i read that they are different somewhere and that they are the same somewhere else. if so how do i make a super black pastel?

can you breed snake relatives w/ eachother? like brothers and sisters, sons and moms ect? obviously this doesnt work to well with humans i know but i was just wondering about this.

also in this vid YouTube - Panda Pied Ball Python by Outback Reptiles

is he saying to get a panda pied u need to breed 2 het pied black pastels together or a normal black pastel and a het pied black pastel together?

Black pastels are very similar to cinnamons but are considered a different mutation as they do slightly different things.

To get a panda pied both parents would have to have both a black pastel and a pied gene.
For breeding a black pastel het pied to a black pastel het pied, chances are only 1 in 16 of getting a panda pied.

I do believe they are different. As for the snake in the video, they both need to be het pied.

okay cool

i meant to say in the first post how do i make a black pastel not how do i make super black pastel.

You need a Black Pastel to make more Black Pastels. That's all there is to it :)

Yes, you can breed siblings together.

sry for the newb questions but how exactly did the first black pastel come about if theres not a certain way to breed to them? like was it just some random mutation from a pastel and a pastel? like some deformed super pastel? and now that were on that subjuct how did regualr old pastels come about? just some very rare deformation in a regular homozygous BP?

All "originals" come from animals caught in the wild.

Whoa there Phantom, lets work on some of your terms. Morphs are mutations of the Wild Type or Normal BP. They are not deformities.

Black Pastels are a base morph. The first one was caught in the wild, and then bred to a Normal, and proven Co-dominant. Same for Pastels.

You might want to take a gander at this:

ahh okay. i really am a noob but im trying to learn alot lol

so if i may ask, what are all of the base morphs out there? i know now that black pastel, pastel jungle are two. and im assuming albino is one.
