    Need some advice on this one

    First off please forgive me for this post because it's going to be a long one

    I made arrangements to pick up a pewter queen bee off a very nice lady whom I have done business with a few times.
    My original plan was to breed her into my Mojave projects, but I'm second guessing if I should. Mind you she is only 500g so I have time.
    My issues with the Mojave is my male is a jigsaw. And while a beautiful jigsaw, he's still just a 2 Gene animal. And her being 4 genes it seems like a down grade to pair her with him. Add to the fact that 1/4 would be bel's and you would have no idea what genes they have then in the combos distinguishing hatchings would be nearly impossible
    As for other thoughts I have my pastel het sunset. Which means that I will have several morphs all possible het sunset.
    I have a spectacular OD spider but again seems like not enough
    I have a black pastel pinstripe spotnose het orange ghost but I doubt that I would have any chance of identification on those babies
    I have a toffino but I'm not liking that pairing
    Ghi het red axanthic I like and I feel confident that I can identify the babies on that. But is it worth it?
    My pied 66% het albino will be big enough when she is but is out of the question because of lesser pied issues
    I have a lemon pastel pinstripe vpi axanthic that is spectacular. I thought about but I'm unsure
    And I have a lemon pastel, and I feel something more but I think too many genes to try to prove him with her

    So I'm really struggling with the pairings here. I'm leaning towards the pastel het sunset simply because I'll know what I have and hatch more pos het sunsets. But opinions are appreciated

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Well a visual sunset cost more than my house but I do have a het and I'm not opposed to keeping back a bunch of girls. It's really what I'm thinking I need to do with her.
