What should I keep...looking to get rid of 6 to 7 snakes.... thanks for the help...

I honestly would get rid of the males and look for 2-3 gene males.

2300 gram black pastel....
2500 gram het albino....
1100 gram lesser
750 gram enchi..
650 gram het pied...mouse eater..

400 gram Pied...
550 gram BumbleBee 100%het clown...
400 gram leopard spider...
200 gram albino spider...

Figured I would keep most of the girls for breeding..

Man those males pair perfectly with the females if I were you I would keep them all but if you really need to get rid of some I would keep the male leopard spider and the albino spider and keep all females

Breed the leopard spider to the pinstripe or black pastel or both haha those would make cool combos never seen a leopard spinner before

first to go would be single gene codom males, then the normal females, maybe the bee het clown male if no further plans for a clown project, then i'll be choosing from the picky eating females.

Very nice collection .... If the Bumblebee Het. Clown does not make the cut shoot me a pm I'd be interested in him if you dont already have someone lined up :gj:

Mousers and picky eaters have to go. No need for single gene dom/co-dom males.

I got you down to 11 keepers. Add a 0.1 Clown and a 0.1 Pied (that eats!!). That makes a sound 13 snakes for breeding stock.

Keep.....

Females:
2300 gram black pastel....
2500 gram het albino....
2300 gram normal...
1800 gram normal...
1400 gram pastel breed by me ..sweet..
800 gram pinstripe..
750 gram enchi..

Males....

400 gram Pied...
550 gram BumbleBee 100%het clown...
400 gram leopard spider...
200 gram albino spider...

You just need a 0.1 Clown and a 0.1 Pied. I'd breed the Bumblebee 100% Het Clown to a 0.1 Clown. Holdback any visual male Clown morphs to breed to a nice Pied.

Use the Albino Spider on one Normal and the Pied on the other. Hold back your 100% Het females. Before you know it you'll be breeding DH
Albino Pieds, DH Albino Clowns and DH Clown Pieds ;)

Albino Spider x Het Albino
Leopard Spider x Pinstripe, Black Pastel and Pastel
Pied x Enchi.... keep your Het females ;)

i dont see the point in keeping normals and i dont see the point in producing double hets in a collection that is that small. in my mind, double recessives make sense when you have visual males and females of both individual recessives. i only see male albinos, a male pied, and a female lavender albino.


so i would go:

females:
2300 gram black pastel.... <--- keep
2500 gram het albino.... <--- keep
2300 gram normal... <--- has to go
1800 gram normal... <--- has to go
1400 gram pastel breed by me ..sweet.. <--- keep
1100 gram lesser .. picky eater.. <--- picky eater should go
800 gram pinstripe.. <--- keep
750 gram enchi.. <--- keep
650 gram het pied...mouse eater.. <--- picky eater should go, but you have a male pied
300 gram sweet yellowbelly... <--- keep
160 gram lavender albino.. <--- picky eater but its a lav albino and still small... has to go unless you buy a male, no point in producing hets.


Males....
1200 gram reduced Mojave... <--- single gene basic codom has to go
1000 gram albino... <--- keep until the albino spider manages to take over
975 gram Pastel breed by me sweet... <--- single gene basic codom has to go
600 gram enchi... <--- single gene basic codom has to go
400 gram Pied... <---- useless without hets. the female het is a mouser. keep if you have a plan to produce visuals that wont take 3 years.
550 gram BumbleBee 100%het clown... <---- nice, keep, 100% het clown is useless for now
400 gram leopard spider... <---- nice, keep
260 gram yellowbelly... <--- single gene basic codom has to go
200 gram albino spider... <--- keep, will take the place of the albino

So god damn hard to figure out what to keep.... Thanks for the great input....

definitely keeping
females
Black Pastel
Het Albino
Normal
Pinstripe
Enchi
Pastel
Males
Spider Albino
Leopard Spider

only keeping one

Pied or Bumble bee het clown.... and will get a female of size to go with who ever I keep..

Forgot to mention I have eggs hatching in around 10 days. Black Pastel and Mojave... Normal and Pastel... waiting on eggs from Albino and Het Albino... Thanks for the help...

Keep the bee het clown and get yourself a female lesser het clown to go with him.

I didn't analyze the list too hard, but I'd ditch the normals and picky eaters from the females and any single gene 'common' males.

The more I think about it I have to keep the bumble bee het clown male he is a 3 gene animal.. will sell the rest and then get a nice something het clown female...

maybe instead of a het clown + extra gene female, get a visual clown female?

het to het is not so good because you get these possible hets. also, when you breed the bumble bee het clown to a visual clown, and you hatch a male visual clown with a nice extra gene or even a male bumble bee clown, you can start breeding visual to visual one year later.

Lots of good advice on the male keeps .... I have a visual pastel clown female that is looking for a bumblebee het clown lover :D but like everyone else has said , he is def a should keep !!

Het x Het is just fine.... ;)

Butter Het x Fire Het.....

I have my 3 male keepers.. Changed my mind on the Bumble Bee het Clown and sold him and the Pied... My 3 males are Leopard Spider, Albino Spider, and a Mojave Coral Glow..( Just picked up the glow today so things changed a little on my list ).. Thinking I would like 1 more male 3 gene or plus to go with my girls what do you guys think would be a good male down the road... Thanks Richie Boo
