Tough Decision, Opinions Welcome
Hi Everyone,
I made the mistake of getting two male lessers, one ready to breed now, one will be ready in the fall. I got both because they're both quite different examples of the morph and I like that they'd be good for different projects. Now, the last thing I need to set my future breeding projects is a female lesser (I have a nice enchi that would love to be her boyfriend along with one of the lessers, and some others). Anyway, I'm pretty tapped out from adding so many new additions lately, so I'm wondering what you guys think - would you guys sell one of the following males to make room for a female? Also, I have the two females I'm looking at pictured below and I'd love to know which one you'd go for I like them both, one is 275 shipped, and one would be 300, but would be included with another shipment I'm already getting. (Now they're both hatchlings, so I'd be waiting on their breeding for several years, but regardless...)
Anyway, just let me know what you would do!! My signature will give you an idea of the things I'm hoping to breed eventually.
'08 male, producing plugs


'12 male, I personally think this guy is stunning


Prospective girls...
She's $275 shipped

And this girl is more of a butter

I myself would keep the second male and go with the first female, if you were only going to get one female. I do like both, but I would ultimately pick the first between those two. I really like the yellow on them both.

I'd rate those males on opposite ends of the scale, same with the females. To me the choice is obvious, but it's completely up to what YOU like

Re: Tough Decision, Opinions Welcome
I definitely agree with you all, it's a pretty obvious choice...I just always feel bad selling a snake for any reason - and the first male has a great personality. I bought him based on a picture in which he looked really nice, but it must have been an old picture cause he was muuuch darker and higher contrast. In fact, he looked similar to the first female, so I'm wondering if she will age in a similar fashion...?

Yea. I also say keep the 2nd male. Though I like both females I actually prefer the 2nd.

I like the first male WAY better than the other. Funny how opinions differ. They're all good looking, but that first male's grey color is sweet.

I really like the first male. I'm not a breeder so I don't know anything about quality of morph stuff- but I really like his color a lot. Is he as silvery in person? I kinda want him... I like the first female better than the second tho.

Ok...then I'm going to ask a different question. Do you think both males could provide different and exciting results from breeding, particularly based on the females I have now? (A female mojo and bumblbee are also on their way)
I've asked the breeder for some pictures of the first guy's offspring...It'll help to see what he has already produced.
Thanks for all your opinions, keep 'em coming!

Awesome idea for you two then. You should take that snake off of her hands. That way she knows it's going to a good home.
