    Question Spider or Pastel Male?

    I'm now debating if I should get a spider or a pastel male, both same price, but both have a mild case of R.I. due to this guys room having the most humid room I've ever been to... I have both with me but I am now debating oh which i should keep... I would like to breed them in a couple years to make bumblebees since they are my favorite Both snakes are docile but the spider is an 09 Proven Breeder and the pastel is a 10. Which one should i get? Still debating please help!!

    I already have both... I had bought the pastel first then I told him they had R.I. so now he gave me the spider so that i could take care of them since i have the temp/humidity control also having a vet next to me. I was wondering which i should keep between the two i have... (both quarantined in different rooms)

    I agree with Alexandra. They both currently have R.I. so who knows what other problems they may have. If you want to breed in a few years you should skip on them and get yourself a nice female pastel or spider. Females take longer to reach breeding size so you should start by collecting them.

    If your nursing them both back to heath I think you should get to keep them both for the price you already paid...

    I love to take care of snakes and I am well suited for this since the baytril injections are free and these snakes need a better home to live in than how they were kept... everything was at my cost and i do not mind since i know these guys might have a fighting chance. They are both very docile snakes and would still make great pets i guess...

    I say you keep both for nursing them back to health. At the price you already paid of course.
