Lesser bee hatchlings. Which one I keep?

That two little babies hatched for me five days ago, altogether with 7 siblings. Both came out from the egg with 71 grams, and both females. I just cannot decide which one I need to keep... :confusd: One have reduced pattern with dorsal stripe, she's more spider-like. The other have a bit more nice lesser pattern. What do you think? :)

I'd choose the one on the left

But the right one has a nice head pattern

You choose the right one in reason aesthetic or potential? And yeah.. I've got the same problem... If they're 1.1 maybe I keep both. I'll recheck their gender after they shed.

In "genetic" potential I would suggest that many people like nice dorsal stripes. That bodes well for the one on the left. The muted alien heads below the dorsal stripe is both aesthetic and potential, due to choosing based on making solid dorsal stripes.

For aesthetic reasons I like the head stamp and busy pattern of the one on the right.

Since you asked, I would also say, keep the one you're most happy to open the tub and see. Both are great snakes, which one makes you happiest?

I'm *all* about that dorsal stripe. I'd keep that one in a heartbeat. ;)

You need to keep the one that YOU find the most appealing, the one that YOU think is the best example and the one that is the best fit for YOUR collection and future projects.

Lefty :gj::gj:

Personally I'd go for the left one, both as an interesting genetic investment and for just plain aesthetic appeal. But I'm not you. Listen to Deb and Sam, and keep the one you like, that will fit your goals.

I would choose the left one but keep which one you like.
