Pewters... couple questions

[krinklebearcat]

I'm interested in working with pewters in the future.. should I look at getting a black pastel or a cinnamon? How different are the resulting pewters? I have a pastel male already, so I'm just looking for a female to pair with him. I like the silver streak morph as well, maybe I'll be lucky enough to produce some someday

Also.. has anyone seen a Lesser Pewter? Has it been done?

I really like how my black pewter looks. My recommendation would definitely go to getting a black pastel to try to get some black pewters. I recommend is based only on personal opinion.

I believe the only difference between the pewter and black pewter is the pattern.

Not sure which makes a nicer pewter, but I like pewters that have the washed out/patternless sections. Those look AWESOME.

As for the Pewter Lesser, this is the only picture I have found of one... Not a very good one either...

Me too! From what I've seen it seems like the cinny pewters are more likely to have a washed-out pattern. My boy does and he's a cinny pewter:



It seems to me as though I've seen a few more cinny pewters than black pastels with this "washed-out" pattern -- the black pastels seem to have more high-contrast in general.

Also, here are some more pictures of a lesser-pewter:

Just my 2 cents but i feel the black pastels are a stronger gene. The cinnys are lighter so you would get a more washed out snake. I think the black pastels have less issues from what I seen..... well at least the supers

I personally prefer black pastel in my combos

Your boy is gorgeous! I haven't seen many black pewters but I think I'd go with Cinnamon (for that combo) but IDK, the black pastel is pretty awesome.

So this is a lesser pewter (lesserxpastelxcinnamon)?

Not a lesser black pewter?

Not 100%, I found the picture a long time ago on a forum or something and saved it to add to my morph list on my site. I would assume it's a cinny but again I'm not sure.

Whatever it is I LIKE IT! However I would assume having lesser in it its yellow would come in as it got older.
