Should I Trade?

    At 800 grams the mojo female as a guess won't go this coming season anyways, I'd pick up a couple normal females and make some hets, sell the hets as 1.1 pairs and buy a breedable female morph the next year.

    The 800 gram girls won't go this season, either. Keep the pied male. You'll definitely be glad you did, in the long run.

    I'm going through the same thing as you, just opposite. I have 3 breeder female pastels (one 950g, one 1400g and the other 1650g). All three should be good to go by December as they are all 07 or 08's. Albino's are my favorite and after going to the reptile show this weekend, I started thinking of selling one of my pastel girls and buying an Albino with the money.......I know I will have to wait a good year or two (depending on if I bought an 09 or 10) so why not start raising my Albino girl now? My heart wants the Albino but I know if I breed my pastels to my bee, I will probably get some good babies to sell and/or trade for that Albino and still keep my pastel breeders. Decisions, decisions.

    IF fed properly and feeds great has a great chance at going.

    I have 2 09s over 1100grams only eating 45 gram rats weekly. So as long as the mojo girl eats well and grows you will have her up to size by December easily.

    It's all really your choice, but I personally wouldn't do it. Two main reasons are that the female probably won't be ready this season, and then your guy holds more of a financial value.

    i would trade for the mojo girl but thats because mojo is my favorite morph. the enchi female wont be bad because the enchi combos are awesome. you just have to pick what direction you want to go in the future.

    I really don't see an 800 gram animal making it to 1500 grams by December. That would be one heck of a long shot.
    Add in the tendency of females at that size to go off feed for the winter, and I don't think there is much of a chance there.

    Too many factors against this idea--the value isn't equal, and unless you have a female that eats like a mammal, you're not too likely to win in the end.
    How old is she? That will tell you how fast she's growing, and you can calculate how big she's likely to be in December.
