Possible Pickups

Wanted to share a couple of possible pickups that I'm considering. Let me know what you think.

Blk Pastel Spider (First foray into spider territory! Think she's too busy?)

Fire Mojave

She's got a pretty fancy pattern :)

Depends on what you like. I'm a big fan of busy/crazy/whacky patterns so I dig the look on that girl.

Love the head on the black pastel spider, don't like the rest of it. The fire mojo is sweet.

Totally in love with that spider

Love the black pastel spider!!!

Yes to the fire mojo, but the black pastel spider is a bit too busy for my liking.

I love the fire mojave, but the black pastel spider has too many alien heads for me (it could be the black pastel influence causing them).

Thanks for the input guys. I really love the spider too, but would prefer a more reduced pattern over-all. I think I'm still going to go with this one, because she's got a 66% chance of being even more awesome than she seems. =)

I personally love both of them! That Spider is prettttty.

I like the colors on the black-pastel spider, the spine is very bright, the black is a deep black color and I prefer the busy spider pattern. It might be the picture but the fire-mojo looks very dull to me. The fire-mojo looks pretty small as well, make sure they are good eaters because I wouldn't want to buy a picky eater.

I also love how dark the spiders blacks are. Would love to have that same level of darkness with less alien heads though.

Both pictures were taken right after the post-hatch shed, so neither had eaten at the time. I've got a couple picky eaters already and they are the bane of my existence most weeks! Hoping to get an update on their initial feedings next week.

I would rather have the mojave fire for the genetics. Fire anything looks really amazing. Especially with yellowbelly.

I bet a mojave fire yellowbelly would look fierce!

From what the Black Pastels do to pins, I'm guessing the spider pattern is busy due to the BP gene.

I think you're right about the Blk Pastel busying up the pattern. There was a sibling to this one that wasn't blk pastel that had a much more reduced pattern. That actually makes me feel better about the busy pattern since it's possibly just a bi-product of the combination rather than a genetically busy spider. I guess time will tell!

Very close call for me at least. I personally love the Black Pastel gene, but with a Fire Mojave combo available, I would lean more towards it. Fires and Mojaves have a lot of potential!

Hopefully I'll actually be picking up both of them! So, luckily I don't have the problem of having to choose between them.

One thing I do not like is how spiders eat up the black pastel gene.
Most blackbee's are nothing special, just a ugly spider with another gene.
Yours actually has the look a blackbee should have IMO.
Blackbees SHOULD be busy patterned, not look like a clean bee :gj:

If it was me i would pick up both!!
