That Pin looks like a nicer Pin that that Bee does a Bee, if you get what I am saying. In short: Pin.

I vote neither. The Bee has too many spots, the Pin on it's own is boring, and you haven't given us any idea on whether you plan on breeding them.

The pin would be bred with http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/13/5abymapy.jpg

Multi gene over single gene any day of the week

I say go for pin. Pin combos are nice

It depends on a few things

Do you want a pet, do you want to breed?

If you want to breed, do you already have females? As someone who wants to breed you should always start with getting a group of females first as they take longer to get ready.

Now when it comes to genes it's always the more the better except that in this case it's not that great of a Bee, too many spots for me too.

So as you can see it really depends on the plans.

I repectfully disagree. I cannot see that Bee aging well. The Pin, while a common, not super exciting to some morph, has a nice stripe and will age better.

OP, if you want a Bee for breeding, find a "holdback" that has several hundred grams on it that you cannot take your eyes off of, then beg the breeder to sell it to you. Or, get a clean, bright Spider and an awesome Pastel and make some. Sometimes that is what it takes to have tier one stock.

IMO the Pin up there will be a great base for Jigsaws or Kingpins.

I agree that the pin is a better pin than the bee is a bee. As well, I really like kingspins.

Agree'd Id say pin tho simple. that is a dirty bee. Mind you that doesnt stop him from making nice ones! BUT you could easily throw a nice pastel/Super pastel to your's for less then 160!

I am pretty new to this I understand why the pinstripe looks nice with a clean line but I don't understand what you all mean with dirty and too many spots

Basically as that bee ages its most likely going to get really brown and "dirty" looking. As a pet, I actually like big browned out adults. But if you plan to breed it out you want something that better represents the ideal example of the morph(nice light yellow less black spots). The pin shown is definitely a better example.

See how brown that bee is, like along dorsal area? Here is mine for example. See how well she has held her yellow? She also has a pretty clean pattern, not many dots.

I voted for the bee, because I prefer bee to pin. I don't care for pin at all.

@op Doolittle has the best adult bee I have ever seen.

I appreciate it I think I am going to go with the pin and will just pick up a pastel at repticon or a super pastel I will only have to wait till august or maybe just 5 more lol

Agree. Quality --> Quality

Start with an army of females. Pinstripe.

I got her she is in shed so no pictures for a bit now I have her a normal female and a dinker female to go with my spider bee

And she has mites

I agree with those who said to get the pin because it is a better pin than the bee is a bee. She has a really nice stripe. And, since you said you plan to breed, I'll also add two more things. First, a single gene female is probably about equal to a double gene male, depending on the genes of course, but all 3 in question are common. And you haven't said much about what you already own, but getting females first is always a good idea since you said you plan to breed.

I might have decided not to get her when I saw she has mites, because it brings into question the previous owner's husbandry practices. Mites are so easy to get rid of...so why hasn't he done so? Anyway, get some provent-a-mite, follow the directions on that can, and the mites will be gone. If you already have snakes, be sure to quarantine!

Funny thing is my car was giving me fits when I went to meet her so I didn't do the best exam. I didn't see the mite till I got home and was putting her in quarantine. I only saw one but I lost my mind
