Not only was it beautiful (I doubt I'd sell it if I ended up with one like that), but just amazing the way the breeding and snakes in general work.
I assume that was the "silver bullet clutch" thread?
That's Albey, the guy I bought Uli from I got to see the bullet when I was there picking her up, and it was SO cool! A pewter has a single Cinny gene and a single Pastel gene, while a bullet has 2 Cinny genes (from both parents) and a Pastel gene. (I don't know much about snakes, but I'm a bioengineering graduate student, so I know plenty about genetics). So you can get silver bullets from 2 pewter parents, or a pewter and a cinnamon. That's why I'm going and talking to Albey when I need my Pewter haha. He's got some *great* looking snakes!

Clearly I'm just trying to convince everyone else that pewter is THE morph to have. Maybe people will start breeding some more and they'll be cheaper when I get mine
