Spider Het Albino or Orange Ghost?

My female spider should be ready to go this year. What Im wondering is should I breed her with my albino or orange ghost. Obviously Ill do atleast 1 or 2 female hold backs to breed back to the sire. I have noticed that the OG's tend to go up and down in popularity.

Albino spiders are my favorite!! And I tend to see less off them. So that's what I would go with, but obviously it depends on what YOU like.

Albinos dont seem to be as huge as they once were, they've lost popularity to colour and full white morphs that are of more interest.

That said I'm a fan of albinos with pattern morphs, and I think the OG would do better with a morph that fades the dark regions.

as we just ordered an spider het ghost male for our butterghost female, i choose this one ;-)
I also think that they are much more possibilities with the ghost for other combos! but depends on the rest of your morphs ;-)

I say the hypo....albino spiders look amazing as babies but the orange tends to fade into the white as they get older...haven't seen an adult lavender spider yet though...plus I LOVE honeybees!

I'm not a fan of honey bees at all, but with the two options you have, I would go with the OG as you'll end up with at least het babies as opposed to poss. het albino babies which will extend that project another 2-3 years.

Both options will give het babies, unless I misread something there will be no poss hets. Either way forget the Honey Bees, they are only a stepping stone to getting Humble Bees..(my fav)
Also after looking at what you have, I would dump the het Albino. Why keep him when you have a visual Albino?

My bad Gavin.
I thought the pairing was a spider X spider het albino. Then I was right.
But it's not.
And I'm not.
Seems we're even now.

Also try breeding your albino to one of your female hets, that way you can hopefully get some female albinos and then sell all your hets. Not to mention you want a Mojave, why not just breed yours for one, and on top of that why not get that het pied some action so you can get some pieds.

Now that I'm done telling you things to do when I have no idea about your actual situation and the age of these snakes... Again, Albino all the way, they work really well with pattern morphs and you can get them faster. Plus when you have a spider albino you can then cross it with your pinstripe :3

Or

Spider X Albino

I already plan to breed my Mojave to my pin and hope to get jigsaws but I will hold back some female Mojaves if I have any. I originally got my het Albino male and then my visual Albino. Im not sure tho if my visual male will be ready to breed this year or not. Thats why I still have the Het Albino male. The Het Pied is no were near ready to breed or id be tryn to get her some lovin. I do plan on tryn to prove out all 3 of my het albino females as soon as they are big enough.

I think Orange ghosts are awesome snakes. I don't like that it is recessive and you have to breed to a Het to get it. Because of that I'd say breed to something that might give you more exciting options. Or buy a het orange ghost female to go with your male, so that you can have fun options, and still get immediate color.
