No no no, I thought I worded that poorly. I mean if you bred a black pastel to a pewter and I was trying to say that you're using a black pastel pewter, not a cinnamon pewter. Breeding a black pastel to a black pastel x pastel.

Here's my GCR line Black Pastels. They are from the same group as Ian G's line BTW. ;)

and the '09 0.1 Super Black they produced this year:

To the OP that's an awesome animal you have- lovin' the infinity symbol, my male has that mark too.

You mean thatkindofgirl ;)

I don't have a black pastel.... yet.

Also I am loving that super black pastel. It's spectacular.

Different animal. Long story short -- Ian sold all of what would become the CG line shortly after importing the original animals and hatching a few clutches. These animals were originally named/known as Labyrinths. He began working with with a different imported animal which he proved and THAT line become the Ian G. line of Balck Pastels.

I have one CG Black female that has given me 2 nice clutches the last 2 seasons. I am VERY happy with her as a breeder. :) However, she looks different, her hatchlings look different, and her combos look different than do Ian's line. I have spoken to Ian directly about the history of both lines.

I would not hesitate to breed for a Super with Ian's line. :D

I have a 1.1 from Gulf Coast and both of mine are beautiful...the female has a partial black back.

The best looking one is the one that appeals to YOU.

When I was in the market for black pastel I was looking for something dark and orangey with some striping and I ended up with this boy.

Wow according to Chris at GCR, both Ian G's Super Black & his Sliver Bullet was made with animals from the same group as my male? Guess he didn't know about the later group.

Oops, well I don't doubt you will have one soon!

If you like the Super, check this guy out! He's her half brother (same dad) produced in '08:

IMHO Ian G or GCR both have some of the coolest patterned Black Pastels out there. My boy throws allot of ringers to which is fun. 3 in the '09 & 3 last year too.

Here's mine. I love her.

Wow, these are all beautiful snakes - especially that pewter! :):) So, cinnamon and black pastel are different morphs, right? But they produce the same combos, when combined with a pastel or black pastel / cinnie? I'm so confused, LOL. :oops:
