Pinstripe or super pastel?

I'm thinking of buying another BP (have an 07 male normal)

There is an 08 super pastel male at my local reptile shop, and i have an eye on a 07 pinstripe male, both are the same price £800. With a possible eye to breeding in the future, which would you go for?

It really comes down to what YOU like the most. I would go for the Super because I like them more than pins. I also like the fact that when you breed a Super you will not get any normals.

You need to get the one that you like best.

Cheers guys, roughly/on average when would 08 males be ready to be considered for breeding (i know that they all grow at different rates, but just a rough guess)

I think i would like to have a go at breeding late 2009,on a small scale of course.The pinstripe could be at breeding weight by this time next year. Spiders are my favs, so may be a female spider with the male pinny in late 09, could get some spinners??

males breed early some have even been bred in the 300-400g range.. females take alot longer so your better off investing in females and then buy the males closer to when you need them, the price will likely be lower too..

An '08 male should be more than ready by next year. I love Pins..Go with what you like but for me it would be Pin over Super Pastel.

Well, my top recommendation is to just go with what you want. In my opinion though, I dont see many super pastels for sale, and I have never heard of supers for that low of price, but I have heard of pinstripes that are even cheaper than that. But then again its all up to you, both are great morphs to get, if it were up to me I would try to dart for both.

Hope this helps

I honestly couldn't make up my mind either.

Pinstripes are some of my favorite morphs, but there is nothing like a nice Super Pastel, in my opinion. :D

Not a very good picture, but they are both so lovely, if you ask me. :)

I would go for the super pastel!

i love the patterns on both.. but from what 've seen the market is drifting towards pins.. but i love super pastels!

i have a pin and wouldnt trade him for anything(thats a lie ), BUT if there had been a super pastel available i might have gone for that ,i dont like the rubbed out head but all that yellow really does get me goin :gj:

Super Pastel !!!!!!!!!!!

Super pastel all day long . I love those things man they are just so hot.

I love the yellow and the blushing. Pastels get me excited super really do it for me.

Tough one for me. When I got my first Pastel, all I could think about was producing Supers. Then I got my Pin male, and all I could think about was producing Spinners. I think if I would have been able to choose between a Super & my Pin, I probably would have chosen a Super, but only for combo purposes. Then again, there are untapped Pin combos out there...I know it.

I guess I wasn't any help...lol. Good luck!

Get both lol! I know thats probably not in your budget but I would say get the super and you would most likely be able to find a pin for a bit cheaper once you've sold off some baby pastels. Of course since it sounds like you've got a spider you could got super X spider and make some smoking bees and killer bees! Then get a pin and try for some lemon blasts and spinner blasts!

Definitely super pastel :D

I went for the 08 pin - I have a pastel girl and a bee boy so I might make a super pastel. I needed some pin genes....

Now I'm just hoping for some Jas magic and hopefully he may fertilize a clutch or 2 before the end of the breeding season.... ;)

I love Pins , and I have 1 female, But im looking for a nice Super Pastel boy ..., I prefer Supers...

Just sent you a PM.

I'd go for the super pastel.

Thanks for all the responses, i have just got back off holiday so just read through the posts. Will have to see what money is left in the piggy bank!!

Many thanks Scott:)

Ok, The super pastel male has been sold, but..., but.. there is a bumble bee male08 i know for sale. The pinstripes are also still there,2 males -07&08. My idea is to get the bumble, breed him to 2 norm females when he's at breedig age/size? Then down the line introduce spider/pinstripes to the mix....... bad idea??

Or the other option is get the 07 pinstripe and pair to 2 norm females (or a morph is funds allow, may be a spider female) Will have to move quickly before they go!

cheers scott:D
