    Good dark double gene

    I am looking for a dark double gene snake that stays darker as it grows. Pewters and black pewters tend to get lighter as they age and pastaves get lighter as well. I am looking for a double gene that stays mostly black/silver and no yellows or light browns. I am looking at savannahs (cinnamon Mojave), lithiums (cinnamon butter), black pastel lessers, and black magic (black pastel Mojave) but some examples sometimes lighten and I cannot seem find any of these morphs anywhere! Any ideas that I am missing? Thanks

    Savannahs are gorgeous. Not getting too light.

    I don't know why people don't do them more, they're a great morph.

    I'm going to because I think they're nice looking snakes, but that's a couple years in the making

    Re: Good dark double gene

    I imagine the best would be a black pastel GHI or a super black pastel.

    black pastel het red axanthic = onyx
    http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/onyx-ball/
    http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/monyx/

    cinnamon het red axanthic = gargoyle
    http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...-red-axanthic/

    since cinnamon, black pastel, and het red axanthic are allelic and all are darkeners, these are very dark and stay very dark but still have a pattern.

    then there are super cinnamon (very dark brown) and super black pastel (black) and cinnamon black pastel (halfway inbetween), they are patternless, and all these have the duckbill genetic issue to a degree.

    black pastel mojave is also nice:

    GHI is very pricy but its a very powerful darkener with a healthy super form.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
