Hi everyone!
I recently hatched a clutch and was expecting this baby to be a super cinnamon but noticed a broken pattern once it fully emerged. The pairing was a banana cinnamon pinstripe x cinnamon lesser. Any idea what this little dude might be? Thanks for your help!!
@armiyana is it normal for Super Cinnys to throw patterning like this or is this a Paradox?
This is just paradoxing, SuperCinny are known to do this
I agree with Travis. Paradoxing.
I think it’s just the way the baby is positioned in the last photo, but make sure that area above the vent isn’t kinked. It’s a common area for a common occurrence in super Cinny.
That’s a beautiful baby and I wish I had luck like this. lol.
Thank you! I’ll double check him when I get home from work, but I think we’re in the clear. I was definitely nervous checking him out this morning, and I don’t plan on pairing the parents again.
In all honesty, the gentleman I bought the parents from almost four years ago raved about the “all black snakes” I could produce from the pairing. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the risks associated with some super genes, specifically the potential for kinking in Super Cinnamons. Needless to say, these parents are a one-and-done pairing for me.
As unfortunate as it was to lose so many eggs, it may have been a blessing in disguise in some ways. Fewer surviving eggs also meant fewer chances for defects.
I am, however, really looking forward to the coming season and hopefully producing some ODYB Enchi Pieds, Batmans, and eventually some Pompeiis. There’s a learning curve with everything, and I truly appreciate everyone’s grace, support, and love throughout this process.
Knowing now that the pairing was a Cinny to a Cinny that may be the reason why you lost so many. Unfortunate as it is…
It is a wise choice to not pair them again.
However the pairings you have planned for the future sound very exciting
