Wha would you trade for her?

I have a 2010 pastel female that is around 1600g I was going o try to breed her this year but a friend who was suppose to let me borrow a male fell through. So I have been debating on trading her for a male, well more thinking aloud. So just wondering if you had an opportunity to trade for her what would you offer?

Shes a very nice looking, breeding size morph girl. Why would you wanna trade her for a male lol???

Well I don't really know if I want to trade her but the thought for a male is because I'm already raising 2 other girls a pin and another pastel. So if I trade for a male I can breed to them when they are of size instead of buying a male or hoping I can borrow one.

Female pastel that size and quality id ask about 700$ for

Well looking at the pictures you posted. I would sell that little pastel girl you are raising and keep the one that is breed-able. She is pretty and big.

Since you are planning on getting into breeding I wouldn't sell her. I would start looking for a nice male you can pair with her starting next fall.

X2. That way you can breed this year, then when your other pastel is breeding weight, you'll have 2 pastel females to breed!!

Hang on to that one shes a beauty.

I'd trade you a adult male spider. Proven breeder :) it's cool if not, or I have a 200g male pastel I'm willing
To trade.

Thats an absolute insult, trading a 100$ pastel $200spider for $700 female. :rolleyes:

i would keep her, throw that normal male in with her this year, keep one of the male pastels (if you get one), raise him and rebreed him to mom next year.

You should be able to find a male pastel breeder for around $100. Check around and keep what you have.

Rich, I think he was joking...

To the OP, one of the worst mistakes we can make in this hobby is to lack patience. Trust me, I have made mistakes like that. Wether it is a Pastel or a Banana; Morph females are worth their weight in gold. If you don't have anything to breed male wise, come up with the cash. If that is not a possibility, wait. You don't want to trade a female out and realise she was the key ingredient to producing what you really want when the time comes. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your decision.

Thanks for all your replies. I don't I'm gonna trade her just wanted to know what you guys would trade.

Good idea. You will be happy you kept her.

I would hang onto that girl. She is nice.
