Which mojave would you hold back?

Here are two brothers that I hatched out this year. I am going to hold one of them back but not entirely sure which one.

The one has a reduced side pattern, to which I am not sure exactly how beneficial it will be when paired with my pastel or super pastel females in terms of influencing the offspring.
The second has a more traditional pattern. I am leaning towards him more but I think the other brother's reduced pattern is kind of cool.

I guess it really wouldn't matter which of the two I kept for my lesser female though.

Which would you pick? Sibling 1 or sibling 2 ?

Definitely the 1st one.

:gj:1st one love the reduced pattern in the front

ooo i like them both, but not a fan of the reduced pattern :\ just my preference. For that reason I like #2.

Cheers.

first one

#1 is pretty cool

My pick is #1

#1 the reduced pattern just looks great.

I like #2, I have always been a fan of a nice even pattern however one with a reduced pattern could make an interesting breeding prospect....

Number 1 for sure. :gj: Both of them look great though.

If I were you, I'd hold on to #1, and immediately send #2 to me for adoption ;). They're both beautiful, congrats!

To the right buyer number one will be worth up to twice as much as number 2 once it is of breeding age.

in other words, number 1 dummy!

LOL, only you can make this decision in the end... The rule I live by though (and it has done VERY well for me so far):

"When in doubt, pick the one that doesn't look like all the rest."

These are words to live by (except when picking a wife). :8:

#1 (great pattern)

I would go with teh first one his pattern is really interesting and his sides are so reduced.

1- with a pastel would look great.

Uno is way too unique to pass.

Yeah...thats where I am stuck. I guess since the reduced pattern holds alot of mystery in terms of how its offspring will be influenced, I will most likely keep him and sell #2. The second one is cool and I love the traditional mojo pattern, but I think my next hold back that is mojave will be a double banger...to which I am sure I will one day have a triple banger too. Spider mojo pastels are so awesome...but alot of multi morph influenced balls are :)

LOL! Too funny Mike...brilliant!

Thanks all for the input. I appreciate it!

#1 for sure!

#1 hands down.. I am a sucker for reduced patterns :D

I choose mojo#1...

#1 here as well

I like the first one too!

Saying your planning to breed him to a pastel I'd keep the more normal one... I like my pastels' patterns busy. BUT, if you like less busier patterned snakes keep number 1!
