Silverstreak

[Peter Williams]

It is a pewter. If the pairing was a super pastel x pewter, the results would be:

25% Pastel
25% Super Pastel
25% Pastel Cinnamon (pewter)
25% Super Pastel Cinnamon (sterling/silverstreak)

So even if that was the pairing, it has every chance in the world to be a pewter.

It doesn't look like a silver streak or a sterling. It looks like a
Cinnamon Pewter to me. Albey's Sterling pics are spot-on (and very nice, too). Albey's Cinnamon Pewter pic is an exceptional animal, most are darker than that in my experience.
Here is a Black Pastel Pewter (Ian G line black pastel):



And here is a picture of a nice Silver Streak:

Colin, that Pewter and the “nice Silver Streak” are both exceptional. The Adult Silver Streak looks great also. The mid-grade Silver Streak, eh. LOL It just goes to show you that you should buy the animal not the line or name.

a silver streak would be patternless

I believe you're thinking of a silver bullet

Hi,

Is this Silverstreak carrying a Super Pastel gene? Or Pastel gene? Someone told me that if it were bred to say a Spider, it could produce Killer Bees....but i'm not sure that this animal is essentially a Super.

I don't know enough to add my tuppence to the pewter/ sterling discussion but I have to point our that even if it was a super pastel there is no way it could produce a killer bee if bred to a spider.

Since only one gene comes from each parent you would need the pastel gene to be present on both sides of the family tree.

So Superpastel x spider gives;

50% bumblebees
50% pastels.

Thats a Pewter, nearly identical to mine

I think this is a Streak??? lol

This boy is 550 grams and will start "dating" in March. He looks Better than after his first hatch -- and really does look better than he appears in photos. His peach color pattern is difficult to capture.

Beauty either way, but hopefully you got what you paid for...

OK can put this one to bed now!

It IS a Silverstreak (although not a screamer!), and it was bred by Michael Cole, and shipped to Scales and Tails in the UK.

Thanks!

Glad you were able to figure out its genetics. Although it is not a screamer, it is a very nice looking snake. I am envious, and would love to have one!!

Thanks! It is a great snake!
