I am so looking forward to the day when I can cross my BP pewter and cinny pewter just because of all the possible beautiful babies that could come out of that cross, if the odds went that way I could even end up with a super pewter and a silver bullet but equally I could get a sterling silver or silver streak, pewter, BP pewter, super pastel, cinny/BP, pastels, black pastels etc. I will never know until they pip.

I wasn't thinking about this from a $$$'s point of view, that's why I used the word 'fun'! I understand that it makes sense for a commercial breeder but for a hobbyist? There is also the point that there will always be a limited market for high end expensive multi gene combination morphs. From a marketing point of view I think that there will always be more demand for the the snakes that will enable hobbyist breeders to produce their own so, in this case, pewters even up to sterlings and silver bullets but less actual demand for anything higher than that. I also think that hobbyists want the excitement of not knowing what morph they are going to get from every egg so super cinny to super pastel makes sense for a breeder but a hobbyist could have so much more fun doing other things with both of those morphs. Wouldn't it be more fun putting the super pewter to say an enchi fire or some recessives rather than just a different combination of the same genes that it already carries?

i dont like playing the lottery either:D super nice pairing:gj::gj::gj: good luck
