I would say they are all awesome, BUT If you have the money get a Cinnamon and here is why I believe you need to get a cinny. Spiders are falling pretty fast and probably will keep falling, Mojave's are also falling and will also keep falling, Cinnamons have had the price drops also but, I believe they will Hold longer. But I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3 Morphs you listed as choices, They all make good combo projects. Thanks David

I agree with David on the Spider not being the way to go. But the Mojave has so much potential. Especially with the Crystal Ball being introduced. I beleive they will hold their high price for a while. Cinny's have a ton of potential as well. If I had to choose between the two it would be the mojave. They are just stunning!

Just the opinion of someone who has only been in the business for about 2 years and has just started breeding.

I think spiders are not going to drop much more this year, mojaves seem to be going down slowly and cinnamons haven't gown down that much. However, of those three, I would guess cinnamons have the most to lose, since more lines have been proven out recently and lots of people are working with them now. But, on the other hand, there are some pretty cool designers coming out with cinnys as the main ingredient. Also, there are a lot of things that haven't been tried with cinnys yet...only time will tell.

However, all three of these are good choices and all three will hold their investment value as the snakes grow up.

They're all awesome morphs that make killer combos. However, I think the most important question is which super ball do you want to produce: a white Leucy, a black Super Cinny, or a yellow Bumble Bee? That's how I look at it.

exoticballpython Jun 27, 2005 05:22 PM

CINNY all the way!!!!

Thats not just a marketing thing either the Cinnamon gene is a very powerfull gene with the most "GOOD LOOKING" combo's

the super cinnys having deformed heads? I saw someone post this statement a while back so I'm just wondering? I've never seen one in person but in every pic I've seen they all have normal heads, am I missing something?

Brian Barczyk of BHB produced TWO Supers last years and they are BOTH perfect and doing very well and I have seen them in person...

I hadn't heard this before it was just mentioned either but it appears that some of the super cinnys heads are quite a bit narrower than normal. I hadn't noticed before but have seen it in some recent clutches RDR has a pair in clutch 34 one looks to have a normal head, the other looks like it has a very small head. I also saw someone elses new clutch about a week ago that had one too, but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it.

because in every picture I've seen the supers look perfect. To me a slightly smaller or narrower head is not abnormal on a CB animal. The way that post was made I thought the "defect" is a third eye or no heat pits. Thanks for clearing that up.

I was having the same thoughts a few weeks back trying to decide which one to go with this year. I chose Cinny b'c the patternless color combinations really appealled to me. I purchased a black pastel male and he is doing great so far and eating like a pig. Hopefully I can get him breeding this coming year!
