The snake in the pic looks to be a cinnamon pewter or a low grade sterling.

Isnt a Pewter either Super Pastel X Black Pastel or it can be Super Pastel X Cin Pastel? (so that wouldnt be a Sterling but a Pewter)

The parent mating was aparently?! a Super lemon x Cin Pewter.

If that really was the pairing then he should be a silver. Who was the breeder?

A pewter is a cinnamon x pastel.
A black pewter is a black pastel x pastel

A sterling is a cinnamon pewter x pastel
A streak is a black pewter x pastel

The parents genetics sound right so maybe a ugly sterling?

The breeder was v. well know, if the UK dealer is to be believed.

Wait a second, I might have just solved this. what you say super pastelx cinn pastel,

When you say cin pastel, do you mean it was super pastel x pewter or super pastel x a normal cinny? I was thinking you meant it was superxpewter.

If it wasn't, that is surly a pewter.

hmm, I dont know what to say then. When I look at it, it looks like it could either be a awesome pewter or a low grade silver.

Trouble with most pic's of Silverstreaks that I have seen, is that they are new born, and so very pale, or adult and much darker. This chap is an 08 and grown on a bit.

Cheers

Looks like a pewter to me....super pastel to pewter does still make some pewters. May need to give that breeder a call....
