    That was my point.

    If I had to pick one it would be #2.

    The cost between a 1.0 Pastel and a 0.1 Pastel hatchling is nothing. As a female grows, her value increases. A 1200g 0.1 Pastel is going for $400+ these days while an adult 1.0 Pastel is still going to be worth $50 as an adult. If you ever want to breed, a 0.1 Pastel is a great starting block while a 1.0 Pastel really isn't worth much genetically for breeding.

    Basically what I'm saying is that a female is a better investment no matter what you plan to do (pet or breeder).

    I agree, that for the above reasons I would get a female, but of the 2, I like #2 best. If you honestly never intend to breed, then I guess it doesn't matter, but if there is a chance you'll change your mind, you'll want to go with a female.

    As a pet you shouldnt be concerned about resale value. I would go with number 2 hes so solid and vibrant he looks amazing and very healthy

    Neither. Both are going to brown out. The yellow is orangey (unless that's just a flash effect).

    Just my opinion.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I don't care for either.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
