Opinions Wanted

[Sarin]

Hi all,

I am stuck between two similar choices for my next project. I am looking for your opinions on what you would personally do.

Now I know most of you will just say choose which one you like best, but there's good and bad points on each choice.

I will say, though, that I like Butters more than Mojaves, but I already have a lead male with the Butter gene in him.

Check my signature to see what I currently have.

I was originally going to just buy a Pastel Enchi and Pastel female. But then I thought, why not add a third gene?

So, my first option was to purchase a Butter Enchi male and an Adult Pastel female. I would have to search out a Pastel female.

My second option is to purchase a Pastel Enchi male and an Adult female Mojave. This certain Mojave used to be mine, and was sold to a friend. He wants to do a trade back for her. So I know she is healthy and in good shape. However, she just laid a few months back.

Both options cost me about the same cash wise.

This year I am buying a Vanilla female. Next year I am purchasing a Clown female and a Firefly male. Keep these options in mind.

Next season, I plan on pairing the resulting male holdback (if all goes well) (so either a Pastel Enchi Mojave or a Pastel Enchi Butter) to my Piebald female.

If I went the Pastel route, I would have 3 chances next season to create Super Pastel Enchi Butters. However, if I went the Mojave route, I would simply create BEL's that may be Enchi.. Not positive I would be able to tell the difference. However, I will have a firefly male.

Sorry for the Novel, but I am very indesicive and this is the most important snake I will purchase, I want to do it right.

Thanks.

My personal opinion would be to go with the mojave I love BEL's and I also love the mojave morph I think it will add diversity to your collection as you already have pastels. Plus pastels are so common, not as just a base morph but in combos too. They are nice to have but I don't plan on adding anymore to my collection. just my opinion good luck

I try to get morphs that I don't already have, especially if it's a male. However, creating BELs that may or may not be Enchi seems like it would be a waste.

What do you REALLY want to make? It's great to have all these options available, but you should aim for a morph/combo that you really like the look of.

I love butter enchis, but you could buy a pastel enchi female and breed her to your butter spider male. The once you get your firefly male up to size you could try for super pastel enchis.

You have lots of options, and none of them are bad.
