What would YOU do (and why)???

I'd stick with the Cinnamon - not very fond of busy pattern with the Pinstripes. Have you thought about Lessers or Mojaves?

Cinnamon. There's a super...and they just make some cool stuff!

I'd go with the cinny as well. You can throw it to your pastel later down the road to get yourself a pewter. As for the super form, I would not go cinny to cinny but rather cinny to black pastel. Less chance for duck bills and kinks. Whatever you decide, good luck in your future projects!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Ever the contrarian, I did my own thing... I picked up a proven mojave breeder from Frankie at Fat Boys ball pythons... and a het pied pair from Justin McBrayer. I decided I'd rather work towards a BEL than a super cinny. So excited and can't wait to introduce the mojave to his girlfriends.
