    Can you all help me choose between two snakes?

    Hi all,
    I have been MIA for a little bit. But I wanted to ask ya'll for some help choosing between snakes that I am interested in. I am headed to the Tinley park NARBC this weekend. Gonna pick up a female leopard albino (I love the looks of those). The breeder was going to give me a deal on two. So I went through his list. There are two males available that I am interested in. Both are possible orange dream. But one is vanilla cream and one is super vanilla. I am having a hard time choosing between the two. I kind of like the vanilla cream because he has more contrast. But the super vanilla has a cool pattern. Also was wondering if you all see the orange dream in either. Thanks again. I'll add both the snakes photos in the comments.

    I know zip about their genetic potential- but just between the 2 as they are, I personally like the appearance of the vanilla cream better. Sorry, I'm not much help on the OD, hahaha! Wait for the "pros" here, that know the genetics.

    Thanks guys. I think they are both pretty. But the contrast is what I like about the vanilla cream better. Like he gave me several choices of the leopard albinos. But most had pastel. The one I picked had no pastel, I like the contrast much better.

    "Pretty" is an understatement...

    Re: Can you all help me choose between two snakes?

    I see where you’re saying and letting us know what you like. Even though the other animal pattern is “cool”. I think it’s always important to go with your gut when deciding in a situation like this. It depends also on what your plans are as well. Always go with what interests you and appeals to you and your plans and your heart. Ask the breeder why he’s listing them both as possibles and does he have pictures of the parents. Sometimes the line of a specific gene can be a low expression or presentation. Especially in the presence of other genetic material. Opinions are subjective. The breeder can give you a objective perspective on the genetics because he knows what he bred into the animal. All three of them look amazing!
