fires!!!!

I agree, Adam. I don't think you can argue about the Lesser vs. Fire like you could with the Cinny vs. Black Pastel or even the Mojave vs. Lesser. The latter two are similar enough and produce similar combos that one can compare which one might "look better", but of course it's subjective. I think the Lesser and Fire produce completely different combos even though they can both produce Leucies.

So if you're in the market for either one, take a look at what your long term goals are and decide from there.

I agree with Adam on this one, it's really what you are shooting for. Fires and Lessers do make a Lucy, and even if some of the Black Eyeds have some yellow blotching, they are still totally killer animals. But as far as crossing potential, it's what you like best.

With the Fire/Pastel for instance, it comes out looking like a super pastel, even brighter looking in some cases, the animal continues to lighten up as it ages instead of dulling out a bit like normal pastels would. Now once you cross a Fire into a Bumblebee, or even a Pastel Pied, the snakes will continue to get better and better as they age. Which I would love to have a Bumblebee that never dulls out!

But then again, Lesser Bees and Lesser Pastels are still a couple of my favorite looking animals, the patterns and color mixes are just insane!:rolleye2:

Just my :2cent: To each their own. :rockon:
