What to breed what to?

Okay, so this upcoming season will be my first, I will get straight to the point I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions or ideas as to what paths they would go down. I am pretty set in the way I will be choosing based off which combos I like the most, but maybe there is something I am missing.

1.0 cinny
1.0 pastel
1.0 hypo
0.1 hypo
0.1 spider
0.1 pastel
0.2 het hypo
0.1 mojave het hypo
0.2 massive normals
0.1 spider het hypo (Hopefully before breeding season I will have found a large enough female) * HAVING A VERY HARD TIME FINDING THIS*


The females that are ready to go this year are both normals, both het ghosts, the spider, and pastel female. The hypo girl, and mojave het hypo girl will be ready next year.

Below is what I plan to breed

Pastel x Pastel - Super Pastel, pastels
Hypo x 0.2 het hypo - hypos, normals het hypo
Pastel x Spider - Bumblebees, spider, pastel, normal
Pastel x normal - Pastels, normal
Cinny x normal - Cinny, normal
Spider het hypo x hypo - Honeybees!

So say next year I breed my 0.1 mojave het hypo to my 1.0 hypo and produce mojave hypos and I somehow produce the Honeybee this year (fingers crossed), a couple years later I would try and cross the Honeybee with the Mojave Hypo to see what I get which I feel would be an awesome morph. After all those baby pastels and ghosts are born I plan on holding back a bunch of females which I am hoping they mostly are and will try and produce some pastel hypos and get that gene over to the mojave hypo, and honeybee.

Ultimate goal - Pastel, Mojave, Spider, Hypo - ANY PICTURES OF THIS?

Would it be beneficial for me to not try to pastel hypo and go for the super pastel hypo? I guess the answer is obvious who wouldn't want a super pastel hypo over a pastel hypo.

So what does everything think of my master plan so far?

i only skimmed over it but seems like a decent plan. i would go for super pastel hypos tho. anything you can do to make the odds in your favor will help

Awesome I appreciate your opinion, I tend to go on and on when it comes to BP's....sorry!

i would pass the 1.0 pastel to the 0.1 pastel and 0.1 spider

the 1.0 hypo to the 0.1 hey hypo, 0.1 mojo het hypo, 0.1 spider het hypo

and give the normals to what ever 1.0 wants them

i think this is just a repeat of your plan i just wanted to think it out

yes, I only wish the mojave het hypo would be ready this year...oh well she will be extra big and fat for next year

hmmmmm, how about
cinny x pastel = pewter
cinny x spider = cinnabee
cinny x hypo = cinny het hypo for future plans with your mojave het and spider het.

ps top two are in my future plans.

the cinnabee option is definitely a possibility and I love pewters, once all those baby pastels come out I plan on holding back some females and breeding a few to the cinny. Hopefully some baby female spiders as well can be held back.

Thanks!

With all of the Hypo, Het Hypo you have, I would consider the female pastel to the male hypo for future options.

With Mojave Het Hypo, Het Hypos, Hypo & Spider het Hypo, you could get some Killer combos in a couple of years with a Pastel Het hypo in the stable.

Patave Hypo, Bumblebee Hypo, Pastel Spider Mojave Hypo, Killerbee Hpos, Pastel Hypos, Super Pastel Hypos, Pewter Hypos, Super Mojave hypo, man, on & on. Of course this could end up being a 5-6 plan for some of the combos.

The other nice thing is a lot of the morph het hypos on the market are not really all that expensive, so other combos can be obtained at a lower cost.

For under $500 you could get a nice Lesser/Butter and add him/her to the collection, plug him or her into a Honeybee and away you go again.

Sorry, I really like Hypo/Ghost combos and hope to have some next year. I have a couple of DH combos, Pastel DH Ghost/Pied and a DH Ghost/Clown, so I am looking long term with those.

Good luck with your plans, look forward to seeing some beauties from you next year.

I have been thinking about picking up a lesser/butter not sure which one I would choose I know a lot of people will say they are the same thing. The Pastel het hypo is in my plans as well for I hope from the mojave het hypo to the hypo more mojave het hypos will come out for some more holdback females/males to dinker around with. Hypo is my favorite gene and will be the heart and soul of all my projects. 5 to 6 years is going to be nothing when I see those babies pipping. I was actually going to go home today and take some pictures of everybody and post them.

thanks!

Pick whichever one is brighter or more appealing pattern wise, no matter which they call it ;)

You have some nice options, should be some nice pairings.
