What would you choose in this trade.

So guys I am doing a trade and was wondering what you guys would choose? A Lesser 50% het pied at 420g or a spider 100% het albino at 650g?

Spider. Not a fan of ph if it can be avoided.

Yeah good point but the potential! The spider is larger also i think they are both even in value. I would have to redirect my direction with the spider though. But if i would try to prove out the lesser i would have to redirect also. I would like to stay on the BEL complex but albino spiders are on my wish list also.

Albino spider no doubt. Not only is it 100% het unlike the lesser which is a 50/50 chance but it's also larger. Besides a lesser pied is just an all white snake, waste of time IMHO.

I would go for the sure thing.

What are you trading?

maybe that is too personal, sorry. I would go with the spider unless it has a pronounced wobble. Depending on what the trade is both or none is on the table too.

I'd go with the Spider, but if either choice is a change in your breeding plan, I'm not sure what the attraction is to the trade?

No its not too personal :) I should have just aded the whole trade. The trade would be a BEL "butter/Mojave" 485g for a hatchling Mystic and either the lesser or spider. My eyes are on the mystic more than anything and the spider or lesser would just be an added bonus!

Spider. And since you're probably gonna be busy with the spider, you can send the mystic to me and I'll take care of it for ya :D

Spider vote for what it's worth. Albino Spiders are some sweet snakes, and with the guarenteed Het you're far better than trying to prove out a Pied, which even if proved like others said will just generate a Pied Lesser (all white), good genetics, but not worth the efforts. I've got a Bee on it's way personally, that I'll use to make 100% Het bino then back cross to try for Albino Spider Pastel :please:

Thanks guys! Truly a great community! Ill let you babysit her coleslaw until she gets of size of-course lol Im going to go with the spider :) From all the advice you guys have given me I guess im clouded by the what if! All and all it is just a white snake too kind of end of the line even though it is a beautiful animal.

hands down id take the spider 100% het. no guess work and they tend to sell pretty quick if you dont have the time to take on another project. also the issue of male or female comes into it also. if its a female spider het albino let me know if you dont want it give me a shout. id be interested to adding it to my albino pinstripe group. :)
