Spider...pick one up that is and 06 or older and give her a year to get some weight on her and get a pastel male next year when they'll be even cheaper and make some bees. I love bees. Just my opinion.
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
The way I decide, I wrote down my top 10 favorite BP and than out of that top ten I decide which one I was the excited to own and the one I was excited to hatch in the future.
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
I love bees too. And bees eventually lead to killer bees which are one of my favorites.
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
I wouldn't pick any of them... lol... Lessers, chocolates, sunsets, carmels and normals for me! Maybe a cinny...
Based on your apparent taste and wants though... Het pied... cause if you have two you can have pieds :)
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
Well, personally, I'd want a homozygous male, and some het females to breed him to. If you spend the money on a homozygous, a male can breed to several het females, increasing your chances of homozygous babies. Its more money up front though. Since you're obviously interested in pieds, a homozygous pied male, and as many as 4 or 5 het females. You're het pied male becomes unnecessary at that point (except as a possible backup). You could do the same with albinos, which would be considerably cheaper.

I didn't vote, beause my selection was not listed. What I would suggest would be the best of both worlds. I would start a payment plan on a Pastel Het. Pied female. This would get you a Het Pied female and yet also allow you to have a visual morph. They may be a bit more than you wanted, but it sounds to me like it would be a perfect fit.
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
I don't see why people'd hate threads like this? What's wrong with helping your fellow forum member decide what snake to get? Not much; it's better than the classic "I didn't follow your previous advice and now my snake has "insert disease here" "threads.. :)
I am not a fan of hets; I am just too impatient. It sounds like you love Pieds; like myself. I personally cannot afford one now, and I figure that i am not into hets.. so I am going into a different direction that could also pay off when I do get Pieds.. I am shooting for pastel/spider combos.
But since you already have one half of the het puzzle in your male, I would get a 100% het female. Unless you go down the popular (deservedly so) Pastel/Spider road
I guess that I am not much help.. I don't know what I want to get next, either!
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
i chose het. albino then get a het anaxtic i heard some where they produce a visable morph or could i be wrong
Re: Which One? (I know you all hate these)
Although my favorite morphs are axanthic and caramel, I voted for the spider as it's my third favorite. :)
But really, it is all about what you want to do. If you see yourself doing some breeding, get the het pied female. If you want a nice pretty to look at morph, get the spider. Whichever way you go, you're bound to have some fun.

A het albino to a het albino will produce a visual, and an het axanthic to a het axathic will produce a visual, but a het ax to a het albino will produce possible het for snows/ax/and albino. Hope it helps.
