Which Lemon Blast? Help me decide :)
The time has come for me to ask some help. I can pick either of these two before my ship date next week. I like both for certain reasons. I like the left snake because of her lighter color. I like the right snake because of the contrast. Which one is going to suite me better for breeding? She will end up being bred to my Bumble Bee male when size allows it. Help me BP.net!

Left or Right and why? (Experienced and inexperienced opinions welcome for fun but I honestly want breeders opinions on which can produce better offspring for me)

Which one weighs more? Also have either of them bred previously? I'm guessing not because they look small. Based on personal preference I'd go with the one on the left, she's pretty :P

I like the contrast as well.
thats the one I would get I think.
Or you could just get them both :P
I really think the contrast might be the way to go. My first impression was the lighter colored animal but contrast should be more beneficial when I start breeding. I would consider both but the female Sugar flying in with her pretty much ate my budget :)

That was definately my initial impression. They are both mid 200g animals. Late 2010 hatchlings. I really like the lighter color on the left animal. She will stay lighter as she ages and would hopefully pass that on to her offspring.

Really makes that pattern pop :)
Good luck on choosing! It must be difficult lol
This decision is a lot more difficult. He only had one Sugar left so I didn't have much choice there but these two are both great looking! I'm tending to lean towards the higher contrast animal though. Thanks!

Well for me, I'd have to pick the one on the left. It looks a lot less browned out, where the other one is beginning to have that dark browned out look. They are both fantastic but the one of the left looks like it will be much more handsome in the long run. :)

You summed up exactly what I was thinking. They are young and that orange tends to turn brown. The contrast is nice but if it is at the cost of browning out I'd rather stick to the lighter animal.

I would go for the lighter one. I know the goal combo is the killer sinner. And a super bright KP would be wicked. Also the offspring could possibly inherit the lighter colors as well.
But I'm a sucker for light pastel combos.

I am a total sucker for light animals (not white animals though) if you can't tell by the animals in my signature ;) I was hesitant to add the cinnamon but I can do some great stuff with her too. The lighter Blast keeps drawing my eye too.
Such a tough decision :) Everyone has valid points. I think this might be making it harder, thanks guys and gals, thanks alot </sarcasm> :D

You must have missed the part about also picking up a Sugar female. They are expensive single gene morphs! I originally just wanted the Sugar female but "saved" some money by adding the Lemon Blast. Oh how I love my logic :rolleyes: Package pricing gets me every time and I'm an ex-high end retail guy. I should know better :P
