Well I have narrowed down my possibilities...what do you think?

So in august I am going to purchase my first breeding pair. I am wanting to get a female that will be ready for next year or a little after, as well as a male. So what I am debating right now is what female to get. I know I want to get a male bumblebee, but I am debating between a cinnamon or pastel female. Basically, it is a question of whether or not I want to try and create killerbees or pewter and cinnabees. Hmmm..anyone have any advice on my first breeding project given these two choices?

Thanks,
Ben

I'd say go for a male bee and a female cinnamon, because that way you have loads more morph options, like you said. With that breeding pair you're open for pastels, cinnamons, spiders, and any combination of the three, whereas with a bee and a pastel you don't have as many possibilities.

Just my $0.02

I think you should get both and make killerbees and pewterbees.

I don't really have the budget right now to get both, but I am really leaning toward a Cinny female. How much would a cinny female be that would be ready to breed in a year?

Anybody? Know how much a "ready to breed next year" cinnamon female would cost??

well considering a female hatchling is probably in the 300-500 range depending on the quality, I suppose you can do the guesstimating from there for something closer to breeding size.

Male super pastel and a female bumble bee. This combination might cost more but it would more than likely produce more two gene snakes
