Yes, black Pastel x Black pastel. I only got three good eggs from the pair, and lucked into this guy in one of them. He's by far my coolest snake.

I have no problem with the slightly changed head shape. It's not a handicap, and I don't think the other snakes are making fun of him.
I'm not thrilled with spiders because of the wobble, but do work with them. Spiders might be having a bad time, but we have no way of knowing.

exactly. lol i'm sure they could care less. i have some black pastel stuff in my collection and i'm sure i'll shoot for one of these eventually anyways just because the dark morphs are growing on me more and more every day.

No. The clutch as a whole does not have a 25% chance. Each egg has a 25% chance at being a super.

It's my first year breeding and I didn't feel like dealing with kinked hatchlings. In a way it was sorta me just being greedy and wanting a good first clutch lol

I hadn't heard of that, so I just did some Googling, and while some people say they've heard of kinking in super-cinnys, breeders were replying that they've never had a problem with theirs. Maybe one particular line had a problem recessive in addition to the cinnamon morph, or someone had an incubator problem and blamed the snakes.

Its a fairly common problem. Its genetic. Like problems in super butters/lessers
