    Question on possible breeding project?

    I currently own:
    Pastel 1.0
    Black Pastel 1.0
    Super Lesser 0.1

    I can obtain in one purchase:
    Lesser Pastel 0.1
    Albino Spider 0.1
    Lesser Pewter 1.0

    Would this be a smart purchase? By smart I'm wondering if there would be plenty of breeding projects available with this expansion to my collection?

    Re: Question on possible breeding project?

    You already have Lesser and Pastel in your collection. You don't have Cinnamon, but do have Black Pastel. You don't have either Albino or Spider. If you're going for diversification, this isn't the way to do it. Also, this gives you as many males as females. If you're looking to build your collection, an army of females is typically best. This is because a single male can be paired with multiple females each season. Personally, I'd pass.

    On the other hand, I'm not you.

    What about just getting the Albino Spider?

    It all comes down to what you like. The Albino Spider would be the last thing I would get as 1.) I don't like Albino very much, and 2.) You don't have an Albino or Het Albino to breed her to so you will not get any Albino hatchlings. Pastel and Black Pastel don't offer you very much and I would personally invest in a powerhouse 3+ gene male to be the main breeder male. When you have a male with a lot of genes, it makes it a lot easier to choose which female to pair him to, as you have a lot more possibilities and it's more economic, as you can get single or double gene girls and still produce 4+ gene hatchlings.
