Good morning
I would like to breed my spider male to a female in a couple of years, but I cannot decide which female morph to get. I do not want to spend more than $1500 on a single animal.
The options are:
1) Female Albino... in the first year I could produce spiders het albino, and then by breeding those back to the mother I could get spider albinos (link) in about 4 years, which are beautiful animals.
2) Female Lesser Platinum... this lady combined with the spider would produce lesser spiders, a beautiful snake IMO (link), and by breeding back to the mother I'd have a shot at blue eyed lucys in 4 years.
I just can't decide... I like the look of an albino a bit better than a lesser, and the simple recessive morphs usually hold up their price tag longer. However, producing an albino spider takes twice the time of a lesser spider, and I simply love lucys, and there is no way I'd have a shot at these with the albino of course.
So, what would you do, or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Cheers,
Markus
