    Which Sugar should I choose?
    Hey guys :) I've been wanting to add calico/sugar to my collection for quite some time and I found some nice candidates but can't decide which female to choose because both are so nice. So I thought I'd ask the bp.net family for some second opinions. So here's female #1. I probably should've cropped out all the extra info but I forgot too, so sorry for the crappy pictures.

    I like the second one best simply because of the blushing. :)

    It LOOKS like #2 has higher white, if that's the case I'd pick that one. The thing I love the most about sugars/calicos is the high white - especially in Calibees.

    i would go with the one with the highest flame/attempted ringer. so from the pix, it would be BP #1. that long and high flame in the first pix looks really cool!

    I know right! The flames/ringer on the first is so cool. But the contrasting colors on the second are sexy lol

    I would chose #2. She has more of the traits I associate with the Calico morph.

    tough choice.

    well then, i would choose the one with the qualities u want to keep most while breeding. do u want blushing and flames? do u want high whites/brightness? sugary speckling? what males do u have that will compliment these traits? or add to the ones that's missing?

    lol still a tough choice i bet.

    Based on the pattern and lack of spot of the second I would have to go for second myself.

    Well this girl is going to be a future mate for my pastel yellow belly orange dream male. Orange dream calicos are my favorite and id love to see what a super orange dream calico looked like :D also the pastel OD calicos are gorgeous too so that's where this project is leading.

    the Pastel and OD are very good bright color enhancers in the male u have. u can make some hot combos. :cool:

    also i hope DarkRanger69 chimes in (or PM him). this is right up his alley as he's also working on complex OD projects. he's also very technical/detailed on the breeding aspects.

    I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. They all look gorgeous.

    I'd look for one that's not het hypo. It doesn't sound like that matters to you, so why pay extra for it? There's 3 on morph market right now for 175-200.

    Of course we have no way of knowing if she'll throw that cool pattern to her clutches.

    I don't think these two are priced so highly just because they are het hypo. I could get a visual hypo combo female for less than $500 they aren't that expensive. I think the breeder priced these so highly because of their quality. I've seen the ones your talking about on morph market and sure they are calicos/sugars but not the kind that I would like to see in my rack for the next 30years. It's taken me so long to find the right calico because I want the perfect one, not just any one, plus a little het hypo won't hurt anything. It could come in handy in the future.

    He's nice too :) but I need a girl and I'm a weirdo because I'm not really into super pastel calicos they are a little two dirty for me so I just want a really nice female calico for my OD pastel yellow belly.

    No sadly not :( they are het lav albino and I'll probably never work with albinos honestly. But I like the look of these calicos better even though the patterns on the ones you linked are really awesome.
