Take a gander....

[Brandon Osborne]

I say this with the utmost respect for you and this rokken project, but I believe your calculations may be off. Pewters are not homozygous for pastel, so the dam isn't guaranteed to have thrown a pastel gene and you could have some pewters in there. (However, everything should be a pewter at a minimum, as the sire was homozygous for both cinny and pastel.)

Like this:

Male:	Super Pewter
Female:	Pewter
Percent	Fraction	Traits
25%	1/4	Super Pewter
25%	1/4	Sterling Pastel
25%	1/4	Silver Bullet
25%	1/4	Pewter

That being said, the only one that even look a bit pewter-ish to me is the 1st one, and even with him, I couldn't say 100% ... He just looks a lot darker than his sterling sibs in the picture. Pretty awesome clutch!!



So is that degree of wacky, broken pattern normal for silver bullets, or do you think the really cool one in the last picture has some "urban camo" influence?

I appreciate the clarification. I wasn't exactly sure of the possibilities. The pics are actually a little darker than the snakes really are, but iPhones aren't the best for capturing true color.

As for the silver bullet, I believe there is definitely some "urban camo" influence happening. What I'm really stumped about is the super fading some of these animals have. I've seen mention of a vanishing pattern gene floating around and wonder if I have something similar in the works.

Thanks again for the help.
