It's a really hard debate, especially while this little guy is staring at me from my computer screen...

Not all the time. The risk is always there but the breeder that produced my snake breeds for super black pastel all the time and never had a kinked snake. Duck bill, I think, is more predominant in super cinnys since you see a lot of single gene cinnamons with duck bills. Duck bill causes no harm though. Best bet is to just get different lines of black pastel/cinnamon since most breeders who do these pairings with no ill effects do not inbreed or breed back to parents. There are many breeders (Outback Reptiles) who claim to never produce kinked super black pastels or super cinnamons.

First of all, nice morph. Second of all, I've seen everyone's comments and I want mine to be a little different. So 8 balls paired with pinstripes are either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd most common pairs to lead to a paradox. Just throwing you a fun fact. I've rarely seen any 8 ball pin that wasn't paradox in some fashion. Nonetheless, great morph.

Oh. My. Word. New favorite morph. Thank you :).

Omg fantasic!he is so beautiful!!!!

Here's a update on my little guy pushing 300 grams [emoji1] I put him with the 8 ball I used in his pictures back in November for size comparison.
