You could get spinner blasts, spinners, bees, blasts, spiders, pastels, pinstripes & normals.

Are you refering to those with just a Spider and Pinstripe? If so, he would only get Spinners, Spiders, Pinstripes, and Normals

To OP, I would save up and get a Bumblebee and LemonBlast. So many combos come out of that. Killerblast, Spinnerblast, Superblast, Killerbee, Lemonblast, Bumblebee, Spinner, Spider, Pinstripe, Super Pastel, Pastel, Normals.

The OP has a pastel female also, so JayCee was right about the possible outcomes. Of course, a Bumblebee gives a lot of combos, too. :)

Thats a good price for a healthy animal. I say go for it if you wanna produce more lessers and pastel lessers!

What happens when you have an on/off t stat in an incubator?

An on/off tstat will allow temps to fluctuate too much. You want constant stable heat in the Gatorade, a proportional tstat is the way to go. You don't want to cut corners on your incubator...

snakes first, the rest can come after the animals reach breeding age. a new male may only come around 200g unless you find a 500+ gram male so get that first. both pins and spiders are about the same price, go with the one you find pretty

Depends, the price is irrelevant if you are breeding. $200 is a great price for a pet lesser. If you plan on breeding, price should be far behind quality in your set of priorities for choosing a breeder. What characteristics are you looking for in a lesser?

I dont know what your overall budget is but I would go as thrifty as possible on things like the incubator and racks etc. Plenty of diy stuff on youtube that works just as well as the expensive name brand items and at this point your sweat is free vs paying someone else when you could spend the money on a quality male. my incubator is a free broken refridgerator off of craigslist, some old oven racks i found on the curb trash day for extra shelves, 5 feet of flexwatt $25 put together by reptilebasics, and a hydrostat from amazon $30. So roughly $60 ive got a bator that holds 15+ cluthes and works just fine. as for racks i get them from a guy localy 41qt sterlite 5 tier for $125 and i put the heat in for about $35. just keep talking to breeders and find the male that you truely like the looks of and want to make with what you have. Remember its the animals that are going to make the experience not how pretty your reptile room is. hope some of this is helpful. good luck and happy herping.

Build your own incubator, trust me. The cheaper ones are never big enough or work they way you want them to. You can build a large cooler style incubator that will hold up to 8 clutches for under $200 that will work better that anything you buy online unless your willing to drop some big bucks. Also I would save up a little bit and get a double gene male, or next thing you know youll have 20 single gene males hanging around your place saying "feed me Seymour". Cant go wrong with a bumble bee as far as price and potential. Just my opinion, either way good luck to you.
