    Silver streak??? Genes?
    HI I have seen them before but was wondering how you make one. Is it a Axanthic pewter, or a axanthic cinny. THanks. The strange things that pop into my head outta nowhere sometimes....kinda scary.

    Wow never would have guessed they are soo silvery lol. Seriously thought that a axanthic had something to do with it. Thanks for clearing that up.

    If you use a cinny you make a sterling pastel, a nice snake, but not as nice as a streak.

    I don't have any current pics -- sorry:( -- But... I have a Sterling and a Streak. Both are males around 450 grams that I hope to breed in 6-8 weeks.

    My streak(Ian G. Black Pastel) is DEATH!!!! My Sterling is a very nice example of the Super Pastel Cinny(Graziani line), but does not hold a candle to my Streak(Super Pastel Black Pastel) in my eyes. Both are great breeders to have as they do different things in combination with other morphs.:D

    I'll snap a few shots Saturday outside -- I hate using a flash. I think they both came out of a shed about a week ago. They have been growing so fast(GREAT FEEDERS!!) that they always seem to be headed into a shed!!! ;)

    A Silver Streak is a Super Pastel / Black Pastel. A Sterling Pastel is a Super Pastel / Cinnamon. A Silver Streak does not hold a candle to a Sterling Pastel. The Silver Streak is a muddy looking snake with dull silver coloring. A Sterling Pastel on the other hand has subtle silver colored markings on top blending into luscious cream-colored sides. They are truly a thing of beauty. A Super Black Pastel / Pastel, and a Super Cinnamon / Pastel, are both called Silver Bullets. They both look very similar and I couldn’t honestly say that one was nicer than the other.

    Here is a picture of my Sterling right after he hatched.

    Here he is after shedding a few times and having a few meals.

    Here is what he looks like now.

    And here is a picture of him breeding a very nice Pastel a few weeks ago.

    Here is what he looks like now. Cool looking belly huh?

    And here is a picture of him breeding a very nice Orange Hypo taken very recently.

    I hope this helps.

    All of the Silver Bullets from both lines turn dark as they mature. The only way to tell the difference from an older Super Black Pastel or a Super Cinny from a Silver Bullet is the silvervish coloring on the belly. I do agree though, it would have been nice if they stayed silver. I am curious to see what happens to a Super Cinny/Super Pastel as it matures. Hopefully I will know later on this year if I get lucky with a Sterling to Pewter breeding. :gj:

    Here is hoping for the best on that. You pull that off and I may have to heed Robert's suggestion to talk with you about arranging a visit LOL (would not kill me to meet another Atl baller either.)

    You know I generally like Black pastel combos vs Cinnamons but I can't argue with that Sterling silver! That thing is hot!

    Re: Silver streak??? Genes?
    The Sterling that Albey has pictured is REALLY nice. However it`s been my experience that in general, Silver Streaks are nicer looking and command a higher price. There are exceptions to every rule, and variations of every morph. Ian G`s line of Black Pewters have shown to produce extremely nice Silver streaks. Black Pewter X Pastel or Black Pewter X Super Pastel can produce the Silver Streak. 1 in 8 or 1 in 4 are the odds depending if you`re using a pastel or a super pastel.
