You are backwards in your statement. The black pastels seem to be quite black/tan as babies..........not too much orange........and the cinnies appear to be more tan than the black pastels.

As far as the comment on Black pastels being a stronger gene........thats abit far fetched in my honest opinion. If you do you homework.........you will find that of all the super cinnamon/super black pastels....none of the reported super cinnies have ever had a birth deformity as in the bubble nose or cleft lips/pallets...I know Graziani, Myself, BHB, David Thompson as well as a few other have produced a good number of Super Cinnamons and all were flawless! THe same cant be said for the black pastels........the original two produced by Gulf COast Reptiles had very bad clefts.......they still sold for exobitant amounts of money...but they were flawed........there were also other black pastel crosses that came out deformed.......Amir purchased I believe a silver bullet this past year from the black pastel line.......this snake has a very badley deformed face.

I have seen 5 deformed animals from various "Black Pastel" lines......and none from the "Cinnamon Pastel" lines............

Take this however you want to...but this is 1000% honest information for whomever wants it.
