Hello everyone! We have a super special pairing happening this year. It is a quest for a world’s first. As far as I know, nobody has ever made a 8 Ball Tri-Stripe. This thread is to show the journey from start to finish. The parents are: Doom (Female, Black Pastel het Tri- Stripe) To Mr. Snake (Male, Cinnamon het Tri-Stripe) Yes, they are named after the animated film “Bad Guys 2”
To start off the breeding journey, we ultrasounded Doom. Her follicles were about 10mm. Breeding size! She weighs in at 1680g.
Mr Snake is 1930g. Yeah, he’s a big boy.
I can’t wait to share this special journey with all of you. Let me know if this is not a world’s first. Feel free to ask anything!
Thanks! - Majestic Morphs
This is the Male

Are you at all concerned about the risk for kinking and facial deformities known to occur with cinnamon black pastels?

I am aware that sometimes some problems can occur. I understand this problem and took that into consideration when was deciding who to pair. Thanks for checking!

Good luck.
I’ve tried multiple methods with multiple pairings. Kinked out on all but 1.
I’ve even tried a male that was hatched from a hom cinnamon with no deformities from their 2 clutches.
Also be sure to check the spine just above the cloaca. I’ve seen multiple 8balls with a kink there that breeders insist ‘wasnt there before’. It is a sharp bump and drop off, not the usual sideways
I gave up on worlds firsts a long time ago. Especially since the only ones people care about come from the top 1% of breeders.
No one cares about any of the combos I’ve made. Lol

The importance to many buyers of whether the breeder/seller/flipper is YouTube famous can hardly be overstated.

Also, here’s a lighter version of what you’re looking at hatching
This one has pastel in it.
Silver bullet tristripe.

Do people really still care about this? Like seriously?? I make, on average, 4-6 “world first” combos every year and I never even bother talking about them. If I do show them off it is more a ‘This is my holdback for the project I am working on.’ I certainly never bother pointing out that I made it first, that just seems so junior high popularity contest to me…

I hate how depressingly accurate this is

Someone with more math than I have could figure out how many ‘world’s first’ BP combos there could be based on the number of current traits known.
There are 231 BP traits listed in the 'pedia; I presume the ~100+ inc-doms would each count twice, and the most traits that could reasonably be stacked is like a half dozen? How many ways can you combine ~ 350 elements in unique combos from two to six? Bonus question: how many would carry a higher risk of being messed up? (Using AI to find the answer is cheating, and will probably be incorrect anyway 
)

I have made a few seven gene combos. And I know a couple folks with eight and nine gene combos…
I can also think of legitimate ways to make seventeen morph combo that - theoretically - would not be an absolute train wreck (based only on the current known synergistic issues, I openly acknowledge the unknown unknowns.)

Hate to hijack your thread but how was your able to start this thread. I’m just waiting on clutch of 6 to shed out to get pick for admins an breeders to confirm the few worlds first I just made
I am not certain what your intent here it. Neither this site, nor MorphMarket as a whole, track “world’s first” combos. The only thing we do on the forum is provide a venue to submit new gene/morphs so that they can eventually be added to the Market side of things. As such, there is no need to get pictures or verification for the Admins here. The only reason to do so would be for your own personal edification

Its for i was told that’s what I gotta due because no shed test is during ember gene so I can’t just stand up an say this is a worlds first an it gets added there has to be proof to claim the world’s first spot an since like said nobody is testing for emergency at this time that’s why im asking after being told that’s what I got to do to claim the spots
