Your odds will be doubled, so that each egg has a 50/50 chance of being a pewter or bumble bee from each respective mother.

Have to really agree with this if you can afford it. A super pastel male in any collection is an instant morph maker. Never have to worry about what to do with normal looking off spring if you go that route. A really nice looking super Lemon would be even better. Just remember to pick morphs that are as nice as possible and top quality examples of the morph. Skimping by buying poor quality animals will just cause regret later.

Great... Thanks for the replies all
As I said before I'll definately go for a pastel and a spider, I'm now looking at Cinnamon instead of a Mojave. I'd love to breed a BEL but it seems that the Cinnamon would give more bang for buck, and the Super-Cinnamons look nice too!
I'm also on the verge of picking up a 100% Het Albino Pair(20 months old) to get my Albino flava going.
I've also starting putting together a breeding plan with the various morphs detailed above.
I've got the basic concept of breeding with Recessive, Co-Dom and Dom gene's but I'm struggling to figure out what happens when you breed a recessive to a dom/co-dom.
Have a look and see if this makes sense (based on 4 egg clutch). I would like to make a Spider Albino.
Het albino x het albino = 1 x Albino + 3 x 66% het albino's
Albino x Spider = 4 x Spiders het albino (not sure if they would all be 100% het albino) I'm assuming all offspring would look like spiders due to it being a dom gene.
Would I then need to breed the Spider het albino back to the albino? To the spider? or would I breed the offspring to each other to get a Albino Spider?
