I wonder if I find a super black pastel with no kink, is it possible that the offspring could be kinked?

You just don't see that many super black pastels or black pastel/cinnamons, not compared to the solid white snakes. And I really like the super blacks.

You dont see them because not many breed them because of the potential problems.

It's 'safer' to breed the leucistics. Less chances of genetic deformity.
A friend of mine hatched out a few 8 balls. 2/3s of them were deformed with spinal kinks and/or abnormal faces. Some had cleft pallets and deformed jaws. They physically couldn't eat so they were culled.
I don't know if his odds were just crappy, but if 2/3s of other Super Blacks/Cinnys had issues like his, then I could see how nobody would want to breed them in order to avoid such issues...

Yea. I've always wanted a Super Black Pastel but I could never risk it because I would hate to put down a snake that I knew in advance could have more chances of deformities.
