Oh ya, I love the pastel genes and there is so much i want to do with pastels, just worried about starting out with just pastels. Thanks for your input.

To my knowledge, for some reason, a Super Pastel Cinnamon (or Pastel Pewter), has never been created.

Pastel Male x Cinnamon/Pastel Female = Cinnies, Pastels, Super Pastels, Pewters, Super Pastel Cinnies.

Work towards something like this if you feel like it - http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...ter-pinstripe/

Then, if you end up with a Super baby, you're able to immediately inject that gene into any future project that you want.

I'll let you look up the price of a breeder size Pewter female, but I'm imagining about 750 bucks.

Supers and visual recessives are smart buys if you ask me. And you've got to think at least 3 years down the road.

I'm assuming you've tried looking at some big-name breeder websites and not just looked locally?

I just started a thread on Pewters as well, lots of pictures. See if you can find it and check that out.
Thats some great advice! Ill have to start looking at other breeders too. I'm in Canada so the market is a bit smaller and I was thinking I'd have to stick to local but I will take a look and see what is out there. The Pewter male I am looking at is $450 for a 2012 so if I could find a breeder size female for $750, Id definitely jump on that lol!!
