Would you rather...

A) Get a Het female this year

or

B) Get a Pastel Het female next year


???

gotta get those females early!!! :) this year for me!!

Good things come to those who wait:)

Het for what? Pastel het clown is one I would want to get right now if I could but since I already have het clowns I would probably opt for an older het female.

It depends on het for what and wether you have a male for that female. For me anyway.

Het for what was my first question.

I'd say patience is a virtue, but if you have a het match already, you could get a jump start on getting your female to a good size.

While I have decided not to purchase any snakes until I have paid off my credit card bill (this is why I have so many snakes in the first place) I would vote to get a het female this year as I have a pastel. In the future I could produce homozygous animals and pair them with my pastel to make my own hets.

Pastel het

Het female now. You lose a year just for the Pastel gene... Which you could just buy a male with the Pastel gene in it instead. Heck, for the price, get TWO het girls this year.


My 0.02.

Pastel het...all day long better in the long run to skip the makinging your own crap and just buy one..

Depends on what the het was het for and if I already had something lined up for that project or not.

The Pastel het would be sweet to as it seems like the combos are where it's at these days

A "Het" female can't produce anything more than the father and is likely to be replaced (depending on how much space you have).

A "Pastel Het" can possibly upgrade the father in first clutch and will likely stay in your collection much longer than just a "Het".


The $$ value of your first clutch from the Pastel Het will probably equal the value of your first 2 clutches from the plain Het. added together.

Good points either way there Heather... What were you thinking of getting?

I actually already have them. This is more a production plan for the season rather than a "getting" plan. :)

I was just curious how people plan their collections in terms of recessives.

I have to say I would rather buy a pastel female het this year. :D

Personally with my collection I'd get a het this year :D

But the pastel hets are tempting!

why not both?

Well if you put it that way then, I would get het females and a visual het male now.
