Project Questions

[Zach Spyker]

I have a couple of projects I'm thinking about.

What would you all go with?
Cinnamon's or Black Pastels

Or should I go with a nice hand picked snake of either.

I have heard they are compatible. right? When crossed do they still make supers?

I'm not really going for the actual cinny's or BPstle. Though I have seen some really nice bp& cinnys'. But more for the other combos they make, and I would love to one day hatch out a "chocolate" snake ( super bp/cinny)


some say they are distinctly different.

I believe the complete ball python lists the morph as Cinnamon aka black pastel or vice verse. but don't quote me on that I can't seem to find my copy at the moment.

There is a sticky on the morph & genetics forum here that explains it pretty well from what I understand from reading it they are different.

Hi,

I wanted more of a blackish super so went for black pastels in the hope that that's what I would get - if you like chocolate coloured supers you might prefer the cinammon supers.

And combined yes they do make a super - and when that super is bred back to a normal it would produce 50% black pastels and 50% cinnamons.

Have a look at black pewters and black pastel lessers as well as the supers and see which you really prefer the look of.
