Big Gunns wants advice from his fans

OK fans. Lets just say someone has a choice on keeping 2 pairs of 09 Lemonblasts, or he could keep a male 09 Superblast(Super Pastel pin). They both have around the same retail value....what would you do?

There is no right answer to this question. BG is just curious what his fans think and why.

I would keep the male superblast. Much better breeding potential on the short term. I guess it would depend on what females you had as well.

Well, I don't know any thing about you, and would be hardly considered a fan since I know nothing of you either way, but I would say super pastel pin. They are just so much nicer looking.

Please don't think that I am trying to be rude, I just don't like to make an opinion about anyone I do not know, and I am not one to go by what others say. I like to find out for myself.

I think you should give all three to me. PM for shipping info :D

Im sure you already have pastels and super pastels. If the retail is about the same I would keep the 2 pairs. The males will be ready to breed in the fall possibly. You can make a bunch more super blasts. Or breed them to a female bee (im sure you have one) and try for super spinners.

More options, faster return.

Hmm,

Depends on the rest of his collection and what he wants to do in the future.

For me, I'd keep the 2 pairs and be happy with the idea or the two females to add in more morphs to one and ( if desired ) breed the other pair to make another superblast and have a second male as a backup if something happened to one.

I just think it has a little more flexibility and built in backup plans - plus theres always the chance of a female pastel being scarily inexpensive next year to let him get an early start on superblasts - again with a second male as backup.

Then again I'm kind of conservative and have a male heavy collection so I may be overcompensating. :rofl:

Super Blast.. Why feed two mouths when you've got one with same potential.

I like this idea myself. Can always sell one male... Lots of options!:rofl:

I would trade them in for a pair of super-piebald mussuranas...........

You said there was no right answer.

I 3rd that..except I'd dump the backup male.

So are we talking 1.1 Lemonblasts or 2.2 Lemonblasts? If it's 1.1 then get the super blast. 2.2, keep the females and 1 male.

I would keep the pair of Lemonblasts! You can breed them with other morphs to get more morphs. This way you are not limited to breed with just females(other morphs) or just with the males(other morphs) in your collection!

I just have one question BG... You said "2 Pairs" does that mean 4 snakes? or is that just horrible grammar from little mouse??!

a pair = 2 snakes
2 pairs = 4 snakes

The way you said this, I am reading 4 lemonblast Vs. 1 Superblast.

Eh, I'd go with the two pairs. I'm not much of a gambler, and two extra females, plus two males just increases the odds of successful clutches. If I was into BP breeding I'd already have a few female pastels or bees or super pastels, so I'd be only a season away from a super blast anyhoo, plus the benefit of nice combo females and combo backup males for breeding.

I would keep them all....but then...I am a little spoiled like that!:rolleyes:

If there is no wrong ansewer, I would keep the better eater of the two females, and keep the superblast male and sell the other 3... Leaves you a triple gene male that would go very nicely with almost anything ( a pastel butter comes to mind as a good example) and then a nice double female to throw in the mix, and if you decide not to use her in a time, you have a female worth much much more more with size and close to breeding size

So is BG but that's not exactly why he's asking.

This has always been a pet peeve of Big Gunns. When someone says they have a pair, why do people always ask how many is that? Since the beginning of time there has only been 2 in a pair. Pair of socks etc..etc..etc.

So...if it's been the same number since the beginning of time and there's 2 in a pair. How many snakes would be in 2 pairs all you geniuses?:P:D

3?

Wait.. 2.2 Lemon Blasts?? I would go for that instead of just one male Super Blast. Just my view on it though, you decide which ever you really want.

I guess BG, but hey if you're asking for advice from us..:rolleyes:

Keep the Super Blast, sell the 2.2 and pick up a 3+ gene female, Im sure you can swing it with your connections.

2 animals with the power of 6 beats having 4 animals. IMO anyway.

This is true, BG just got of the phone with Obama, unfortunately he can't help BG with a 3 gene female though.:D

I'm REALLY liking the idea of keeping the 2 pairs.

I would put one pair together and make my own Super blasts and have more than one, and use the other pair to create other morphs.

Since all the animals are 09s the males will mature faster and can be put to work while waiting for the females to catch up. This would take a bit of time, but be well worth it in terms of production power:).

At my level of breeding I keep the 2 pair and spread them out. If I'm in BG's shoes (my feet probaly too big), I keep the superblast cause there are plenty of great females just waiting for him (the snake, :colbert: not BG!!).

Both ideas have there pros and cons. BG is starting to lean towards the 2 pairs as the better option, but mainly because it gives more versatility. Sometimes an animal won't breed also, but outta 4, something will.

And if you were in "BG's shoes" NC Fats, you'd have some awfully sore footsies big fellah.
