Male Pinstripe

[Pythonfriend]

i say if you want to breed...

there is no conceivable reason to look for a single-gene male pinstripe for breeding. never. never ever. it just doesnt compute. a male pinstripe is a nice pet. a male pinstripe would need to display true perfection in all regards to be considered worth breeding in a fringe project. that is the benefit of the doubt: maybe there is a project somewhere where a 1 in 100 absolutely perfect pinstripe male could make sense.

but generally speaking: no. you dont want a pinstripe male. its too weak. get a kingpin = lesser/butter pinstripe. or get a jigsaw = mojave pinstripe. or a nice fire pinstripe. or an enchi pinstripe. maybe a nice sugar/calico pinstripe. or something with orange dream, and banana is also coming down in price, maybe a banana pin.

your chances of _merely_ producing a jigsaw would be higher with just a pin male. add one extra gene, and your chances to get just a jigsaw get cut in half, but the other half will be jigsaw + the extra gene. add lesser/butter or mojave, and you get blue-eye leucistics, and when looking at that all-white beauty (super mojaves have a grey head, lesser/butter mojaves are white) with blue eyes, figuring out if it got pinstripe becomes secondary.

i always link this in threads like this, so i wont change my habit:

just look for genes that might make jigsaw more awesome, and thats a matter of taste. personally i dont think pastel and pinstripe interact very well. and if i had a free choice, i would probarbly go for something with special/crystal. i love the non-white super combos in the BEL gene complex. and everything in the BEL complex ages nicely and interacts nicely with pinstripe.
