Loaning out my male

[Jay_Bunny]

With this breeding loan, I'm going to just ask for a single hatchling. 2nd pick of the clutch. He can have first pick, then I get 2nd pick and then he gets the rest of the clutch.

Now, with my other friend (these are two separate people in two separate seasons) since I will be housing the female and doing the incubation, I'm going to request we have a 50/50 split of the clutch, giving her first pick since it is her female.

I think your plan of second pick is fair. Your male is not really worth nearly as much as his female so I think any more than that would be asking too much. Otherwise your friend would be better off just buying his own yearling male.

Agreed!!! asking anything over 2nd or even 3rd pick is too much. Best wishes!!!

If he hit on two super pastels in the clutch - you'd be getting a heck of deal on second pick of the clutch, which would obviously be a super pastel. You can get quality breeder-size pastel males for under $200...it'd basically be like giving away a super pastel for the cost of a male breeder sized pastel.

Not the best deal on his end...great deal for you if the odds are good.

Just hope he doesn't read this thread

Yep, personally I think the guy is pretty stupid for wanting to do the loan and giving away any of his females clutch. He'll be kicking himself if he hits 2 supers, but I guess money is tight for a lot of people now so a couple hundred dollars to buy his own male may be too much. Do you trust the guy enough that he would tell you if he hit two supers? Good luck Jay, I hope it works out for you.

Hmm, I guess you guys are right. It would be a kick in the pants for him to have to give up a super pastel if he got two. Well since I wasn't even planning on loaning him out until about a month ago, I think I'm just going to ask for a female pastel if he gets any. That is what I wanted out of pairing him with my normal girl, so maybe I'll just ask for a pastel female. That seems fair. He has the more expensive snake and he'll be doing all the work. Its not fair of me to ask for a super pastel like that.
