    What male for these females
    What male to pair to a visual albino and visual vpi axanthic is the question? I know ultimately it is up to me but I do appreciate any input you guys have.

    I love everything axanthic, love albino spiders but dont like albino pastels. I can really only afford a double co dom male, if i could get a triple I would but I just can't right now.

    A bumble bee would be awesome for axanthic bee, ax spider and ax pastel but at the same time I dont like albino pastel at all. So I am kind of torn. I am leaning towards a male spinner to get ax pins, ax spiders, ax spinners, al spiders, al pins, and al spinners.

    Its just rough trying to get started and having to pick one male to handle both females, especially when they are both recessive. What do you guys like and what would you get?

    I started with visual females so when they are bred hopefully I can breed the son back to mom the following year instead of waiting for females to get big enough to do the job and the actual visuals arent that expensive for these morphs anyways

    I would say that your Spinner idea is a good one. Do you have enough space to hold back everything you would want to when you do breed?

    What did you have in mind for when you purchased them females?

    Recessives are a hard one.. I would say if you want to make specific morphs, get a Co-dom Het Albino or Axanthic male to run thru your girls.

    Spider hets and other pattern morph hets are a good idea. :)

    Good luck in picking!

    I would probably lean towards a spinner as well since you don't like the pastel albino, but you could always get a male bee and just breed a spider son back to mom for the albino spider. There are people out there who would be happy to buy pastels and bees het for albino.

    You could also jump start a different project and get a spider het albino and get into that right away.

    I would go with a male spider yellowbelly, they are not too expensive and the axanthic's and albino's of those breedings would be awesome.
    yb het ax and yb het albino are not easily found and command a good return still.

    Not to mention an axanthic spiderbelly :snake:

    The reason behind the spinner male was to not take up rack space and have 1 male for both ladies

    i like the spinner idea.... i also like the dh albino ax (snow) snows will make ya decent money... spinner would give u a large variety and everything would either be het alb or het ax and ive seen spdier het alb sell for good chunk as well as spider het ax.. its all personal pref. what do u like and what do you want to produce because at the end of the day they are your snakes u might as well like the project u r workin ;)

    Maybe a lesserbee? I think the axanthic spiders rock. Albino lessers and Albino Spiders would be nice as well.

    I think the comment regarding rack space was for you to hold back the babies so that you can get what you've been mentioning. You'd need to hold back the visual Spider/Spinner/Pin het male to breed back to the mother.

    Are you trying to male money off the clutch or just produce holdbacks for future breeding?
