I have to agree with you. He gets better as he grows. He is one of the mysteries, but we are guessing the pied gene is bringing out the random patches. He is a Super Pewter pos. het Pied, from Pewter het Pied X Pewter.
The other super from the same clutch is getting better and better as it grows also. If he doesn't sell before too long, I'm going to have to hold out and breed him to something just to see if there is something else going on with him too.
I wonder if this is what Kevin was talking about when he said that the het pied gene acts like a morph when its in a multi gene snake.

I think so. Some of the Pastel het Pieds we have look a bit different, as well as the Pewter Pieds. Seems the pied gene causes striping in Pewters. If I think about it, I'll try to get pics of the cinny pos. het Pieds we have from the same clutch as the Super Pewters. One looks different, the other looks like a typical cinny. The Super Pastel from that clutch look unlike any Super Pastel we've ever seen. We THINK it's from the pied gene. Only time will tell.
