    Pinstripe or Spotnose

    I'am getting a Pinstripe or Spotnose from my local breeder this week, I would like to know what you people prefer, not about breeding, not about making money, just a pet you would like to have. I'am leaning toward the Pinstripe but seeing a member's spotnose they really have a cool looking head design and pattern which I like. They are both single gene morphs.

    Even though it would be a pet I would decide based on the two animals you're being offered: I like my pins really reduced and my spotties very bright with loud head patterns, so if one snake didn't meet that criteria I would pass and get the other. It's personal preference but I would go with the one that "wows" you off the bat.

    Lovely girls, I've haven't seen any photo's of the two yet he told me over the phone so I picked the pin or spotnose. Seeing them will hopefully make me decide easier

    As far as a pet goes, it's definitely up to you which girl you like better! See if you can take pics, then if you still can't decide you can always bring them on here (We will never ever say no to pics!) and get input then as well!

    As a pet, it really comes down to whichever snake wows you and will make you happiest. I will admit I am partial to spotnoses.

    Re: Pinstripe or Spotnose

    Also as a pet, see if one has a better personality than the other. I have a few that aren't high-$ but they will never go down the road because they are just awesome to handle, especially when I have family or friends over who are convinced that snakes are evil/terrible/will kill us all/etc.

    I personally like the looks of pins better then spotnoses, but if it's mainly a pet then I'd pick the one that is the easiest to handle.
