Killer Spin X Pewter Clutch

[Adam Chandler]

Had this 2 egg clutch hatch recently (4 eggs laid, 2 infertile) from a Killer Spin (Super Pastel Pinstripe Spider) x Pewter (Cinnamon Pastel)

Left seems like a textbook Spinner Blast but what about the right? Lemon Blast or Killer Blast?

Maybe it is just cuz the background is so black, but the blacks on the one on the right don't look very black to me. Any possibility of hypo?

Neither of the parents have the ghost gene that I know of, but yeah, the blacks definitely look a bit faded on the Pin. The yellow/orange looks too dark to be a Super Pastel but the head is so faded. You think there might be a hypo gene at work?

It was a thought that seemed worth throwing it out there, but I'm not that much of an expert. Pretty much what I did was I looked at your pic, and my first thought was "gee that snake doesn't look bright enough for the super pastel genes" but I've also observed that golden color of pins is very stubborn in some combos that I would have expected to change it more. So I looked up blasts and killer blasts on WOBP, and I can see why you are unsure. And in the process as I was looking more closely at your snake, that's when I started thinking about how not-black the black markings are.

Hopefully one of the more experienced people will chime in.

Super pastel should reduce the black from the blushing it throws in it and with a head that white , I'd say looks like a super blast to me.

This one is pretty close to yours: http://www.sloanreptiles.co/collecti...0Pythons&id=86
