    How do you?

    Sell and not keep them? I Have Just realized some of the cool combos the list of bps ill be getting next summer can make and I don't know if I would be able to give up a killer queen, killer bee, silver bullet, Sterling, super cinny, king pin, or emperor pin. I Would Just want to keep them all! So do You keep some or sell most? I know people Do holdbacks of the best of the clutch but What if you get only one multi morph baby? Sell or keep? Enlighten me please?

    I'm in the same boat. I have my very first 2 clutches this year, and don't know what i'm going to do. I'm hoping for pied balls with this clutch, and I don't know what i'm going to do if I get one or more of the same sex.

    I guarantee I will not be selling my first morph like that ever, but the second and third and fourth, sure. I have a list of hold backs for each combo I breed. Good way to control yourself!

    I plan on keeping holdbacks for myself as well. If you have more of one sex of the same morph, its easier to sell

    I'd keep them for the collection, especially if you only produce one. I guess would all depend on your situation at the time... Money vs. Adding to your Collection. I would work toward building your collection while making some money on the side.

    I will probably do the same And keep the best for the collection and sell the rest. Or atleast wait till one I like better comes along. I will probably jump for joy if any of those listed above pip out.....I'm sure it gets easier the longer you do it and know what to tell will be best for the collection.

    Personally, I would keep the best looking morphs for myself, I'd sell the rest though. I know a lot of people end up selling males and keeping females, but if you have a lengthy collection of girls, I'd keep the males since you can breed them to all sorts of girls
