What would you choose?

Hatchling spider female Vs Male & Female 100% Het Albino?

Spiders would be easier and faster to make visuals. The hets would take around three years to make a visual and then it's not certain of that. I've heard of het x het breedings that took 25 eggs before they got a visual.

In terms of the look though, I'd go with albino.

I have to say i'd probably choose the pair of hets, Ive always been a fan of albinos, and i could put them to good use.

id say spider then when u can buy something else you can get a co-dom male and make some cool stuff. female takes longer to breed so get her now, thats my thinking

Yeah I've really been leaning towards the female spider since I already have a pastel and could possibly get some bumblebees that way (down the road a ways, lol) But I love the albinos and although it may take a little longer, it may be worth it in the end.

albinos all the way!!!!!!!

A pair beats one of a kind in my book!!! I voted Albino.

Get the pair, breed them out, and use the money you made to buy a spider. THEN! Breed spider to albino and make spider albinos. Mwahaha!

You'd have to have a spider het. albino to make albino spiders. It would take a few generations.

I don't think het. albinos are worth it at this point. The price is dropping so dramatically, by the time your hets were old enough to breed you could pick up an albino for the same price a spider is now. I've already seen good albinos in the $400 range. If you really want an albino, just buy one now or wait a bit and get an '09 hatchling albino. Otherwise, I'd go with the spider.

I don't like the look of albinos :P I'm all for spiders, though.

i'm with you on that

but if you like albinos you would be better just saving up and getting an albino
instead of hets or you can pick up a female spider at the hamburg show cheap, i got my 2 there
and since you have a pastel you need a spider

I would go with the Spider, just because by the time you raise up your Hets, and calculate the money you spent initially buying them, then housing and feeding them over the next three years till the female is ready for breeding, plus any possible vet bills, you would have paid more than you will if you just save up now and buy an Albino :)

The only reason I have Poss Het Albinos, is because I bought them from someone simply because they were absolutely gorgeous to me and at the time I was only flea-bitten with the addiction bug :P They gave me hives and I dove full on into the morph addict world LOL

I have both so hard to pick. :)

If you'd only get one spider, then definitely get the het p=air. breeding is probably the most fun aspect of keeping animals.

why not get just the het albino female now and wait for a year and get either an albino male or a het albino male.

Personally, I would go with the spider. I love visual morphs, hets just don't do it for me.

If your new to breeding I say go with the female spider and then later on get something like a male pastel. First year breeding can make or break a person that really wants to get into hobby breeding. If you breed and get nothing it can be pretty demoralizing and could put you off from the hobby. Co-dom and dom traits can be used your first time to improve your odds of making something other than a normal and keep you energized in the hobby. Growing the snakes to breeder sized and the length of time involved in your first breeding can really test your patience as it is. Getting a whole batch of normal snakes after all the time and investment can be the straw the broke the camels back in the end.

Once you know all the work involved and get a better idea on genetic odds and how cruel the odds gods can be you can start playing with the het recessive morphs.

I am voting Spider...If it was albino or spider I would pick albino. But since I am putting a spider up aganist two hets I have to pick spider. My albino and my spider are my two favs out of the balls I own now.

i really love spiders but with the other deal your are getting two snakes. im not even going to give my opinion on this one. to hard of a decision.
