Cinny Pewter VS Black Pastel Pewter

Can you tell the difference in a Pewter that's been made with a cinnamon vs a black pastel. The breeder I bought mine from told me black pastel or I don't think I would have been able to tell?

If the animals were produced by quality line animals then its night and day difference. This applies to any combos. This is why you see a quality grading being reflected in prices. For example you will see different prices for the same animal from different people and sometimes the price increase is because the person selling it may be a big breeder versus a hobbyist, and theybexpect you to pay for the name but alot of times its cause of the quality of the lines in the animal. Personally i think price grading is important cause a smokin animal should bring a better price.

If you know what to look for it's possible to tell a cinny pewter from a black pastel pewter. To me black pastels tend to look darker and have busier patterns than cinnies. I'm sure someone on here can describe it better.

Here are two pages, one for cinnies and one for black pastels. Looking at them you can notice some of the small differences.

Good cinny pewters tend to be a bit more silvery. Where as a good black Pastel pewter can be a bit more muddier brown. IMO I like the cinny pewters better. When I bought my sterling I specifically was looking for a cinny produced one.

I like both, and have one of each, but they are different and quite easy to tell apart.

this is my pewter that is cinnamon x pastel... see how bright it is?

I like the Cinny Pewters better myself. Seems more people like the black pastel for some reason.

I agree. I don't see what people see in the Blacks over the Cinnies. Here's a male Cinny gene Pewter I hatched out this year...But the one you posted above may be the coolest Pewter I've ever seen. :gj:

I like the cinny stuff better than most of the black pastel stuff 100% any day. I think anyways when it comes to pewters and sterlings the cumbys produce a nicer animal. I hate how brown and muddy the bp ones look. Yucky looking.

Wow thanks everyone, those are some amazing pewters. Mine is in shed, but I'll post some new pics when he is done..

Black Pewter all day!!! The Black when mixed with genes other then pastel, make way crazier pattern mutations. YB is a great example, Tom Barnhart makes some amazing Black Pastel YB crosses. So I went Black Pewter because in other combos it makes for amazing snakes. I beleive Bob Obrien made some lesser BP pewters this past year and wow. He posted pics in another thread of mine on a differant forum. Don't know how to add pics or I would put some of my Black pewter girl, who is high silver low tans and subtle yellows with a purple head and gets better each shed. again there are pics of her in my thread on another forum. Congrats on your pickup and best of luck.

Cinnamon Pewter all the way!

She's about 1100g now.

The difference is huge...and that's the great thing about these morphs..it's all about personal preference. Others have said they don't know what people see in Black Pastels and I don't see what people see in Cinnys :puke2:
If the breeder told you it was a Black Pewter....then you got a good one.......and the better one...:gj:

Looking forward to the picts!
