The Cinnamon (or Cinnamon Pastel) is the heterozygous form of this co-dominant mutation; the homozygous ("super") form is a dusky, chocolate-brown snake with a white belly. Bred to a normal/wild type ball pythons, it is possible to produce Cinnamons in the first generation of offspring. This morph does not involve the Pastel Jungle gene, and due to this, many breeders have dropped "pastel" from the name, simply referring to these animals as "Cinnamons." The primary body coloration is a rich brown ranging from chocolate to coffee in shade, while the pattern is lighter reddish-brown, highlighted throughout with white edging, and characterized by teardrop or "keyhole" {mosgloss=lateral} markings. Cinnamons are a key ingredient to some very appealing combination morphs, including the Pewter Pastel (Cinnamon x Pastel Jungle) the Cinna-Bee (Cinnamon X Spider), and the Super Cinnamon ball. |
