Killer bee vs fire pin

[robert7107]

Can't decide. And can't have both..
Killer bee female 200 grams $150 or a fire pin female 660 grams 250 shipped. killerbee is local breeder . Going to be part of a banana, pastel, Mojave project. other two females i have are under 300 grams.. wanted some options..

Hmmmm since they would be going to a banana, pastel, mojo project would you want to use the killerbee to make some super pastels and add spider to the other morphs OR
do you like the look of pinstripe patterns better? Personally I like the spider gene more than the pinstripe gene. OH it also depends on the quality of both of these animals, do you have any pictures of them? When working with the pastel gene quality is always a factor since so many pastels out there or Super pastels I should say aren't the best quality

I like both jigsaw is one of my favorites but spider anything I love . Iam also thinking of future cost since both females i have now eat the same size rat and the killer bee is fairly close as opposed to fire pin which twice the size of my two females now. Her is the picture of the killer bee I think it looks good the seller has other bps for sale and look great..

Hmmmm I'm not really sure if I'm seeing a killer bee in this snake honestly. I just see a regular bumblebee.
Check this site and scroll through the killerbees and see for yourself.

Well this helps narrow it down a bit now. Since this animal looks to be a bumblebee does that change things for you? The killer bee would've guaranteed every animal to be a pastel. You could make your own killer bee if you pair it to the pastel.

Personally when I decide to get a new snake for my collection I lean towards genes that I don't have already. For example, I already have pastel + spider, I don't have pinstripe (I do have fire) so for me I'd go for the snake with pinstripe in it. Keep in mind you'll probably get pin babies and raise those up and cross with other stuff, assuming you are breeding. I try to get a wide palette of flavors to choose from! I also look at it from the standpoint of if I can make this new snake myself in current or future project with the genes I already have.

I also look at the age of the snake, I recently picked up a spider pied male that was four years old. I actually already have a spider pied male hatchling, but the older snake was a killer deal and I have a girl ready to breed and wanted him for that project, even though I have a duplicate snake now. That was kind of a fluke though, usually I'm looking for a morph that fits my recessive project or one with multi genes that I don't have in my collection yet.

I see a lot of variation in fire pinstripes. This one is cool for $200:
