Which one would you keep?

My pastel clutch (5 pastels, 2 normals) is all shed and half fed now, so I popped the two I was thinking about keeping - and if my popping is correct, it appears they are both girls. Yay!

So if you were to pick one of these, since I could really use ONE (not two) pastel girl in my collection, which would you choose? I love the insane blushing & contrast on #1, but #2 has a slightly more "clean" and reduced pattern. Oh, and #1 has an extremely feisty temperament - tagged me twice the other day, and then got so mad she started tagging her hide. It was kind of adorable. :D

Here's #1:

Now #2:

And side-by-side (#1 on left, #2 on right)

I like #two

Not like you're going to get rich off a 0.1 Pastel hatchling, so I would hold both for 6 months and see who eats better and holds their color.

Sounds like wise words to me.

Another advantage to holding both for a few months is you will get to know eating habits. One may end up being a garbage disposal while the other is hit or miss. At six months one could be twice the size of the other depending on eating habits.

I like #2 as well

LOL... I wasn't planning to get rich off these babies, just bred them for my own enjoyment. ;)

But the problem is that I'm actually trying to REDUCE my collection, so I shouldn't even keep one let alone two. I'll consider what you & the others have said, though, and see if I can hold on to them for a little while. #1 took her first meal offering, btw, and I don't remember (without checking iHerp) if the other one did - I got 4/7 to eat on the first try.

I'd keep the one with the spot behind the head if everything else is equal

I vote you keep #1 for yourself, and mail me #2 :D Lol but I would def keep #2. Or do as others suggested and keep them for a bit and see how they grow.

Haha... if I don't end up keeping her, I might take you up on that offer! ;)

Thanks everyone for your input, and it's interesting how almost all of you picked #2 - considering I was leaning towards the other one. But she really does have a nice clean pattern, so I can see why you think she'll make a nicer adult. Maybe I will hang on to both, and see which one "grows on me" over the next few months. Dangit, I swore I wasn't going to keep more than one! Famous last words, huh?

P.S. Miss #2 also seems to have the better temperament, since as I mentioned above, #1 has tagged me twice already. Didn't feel a thing, lol.

I think I like 1 better because of the back blushing!

Yeah, that's what attracted me to her too! The other one has nice blushing too, plus the more reduced pattern, so it's a tough choice.

Btw, they have now ALL eaten! I had two who were still holding out, but then I tried covering their tubs with a black t-shirt (they're being housed on top of the rack, where it's kind of exposed). Lo and behold, that did the trick within minutes. :gj:

You should keep #2.

Because I'm buying #1. ;)
