In my opinion, black pastel and cinnamon may be alleles (different versions of the same gene), but they do not have to be alleles. The two mutant genes may be independent, and their effects may be additive.
The way to tell whether the two are independent is to get a black snake from a black pastel X cinnamon mating and mate it to a normal. If there are any normal babies, then the two mutant genes are independent. If there are 17 babies with no normals, then there is a 99% probability that black pastel and cinnamon are either alleles or the same gene.
