    Need some advice from you...

    I'm about to buy my 10th BP. A wonderful person from this forum has offered to sell me an exceptional Super Black Pastel. I may take the offer. However, I've also been looking at a Silver Bullet or a Silver Streak. Anything I get will be female, but I just want to know what you guys think goes best with my collection so I can start breeding some really cool stuff of my own. If you think I should go for one of those snakes already mentioned, tell me. If you think you know something that would go better with my collection than one of those 3, let me know that too! Thanks for all the help! Here's what I've got:
    0.1 Normal
    1.0 Spider
    0.1 Axanthic
    1.0 Albino
    1.1 Lesser Platinum
    1.1 KillerBee
    1.0 Pied
    0.1??? You tell me!

    Re: Need some advice from you...

    If you can afford the sliver streak or the silver bullet I would go with one of those. Combo morph=more morphs in one clutch.

    At the very least, even if you breed her to a normal you'll still get pastels, cinnys/Bpastels, and I believe pewters with the sliver bullet (I'm not sure about sliver streak) You can't go wrong with that!!!

    As deborah mentions , looks like you could use a Pin in your collection (Kingpins and Blasts) but i'm assuming from what you mentioned you could go with something more expressive. I'm in a Dark bp phase so i'll say S Blk Past.

    Re: Need some advice from you...

    How much are you willing to spend?
    I personally don't like cinnamons or any cinnamon combo (but that's just me) so I agree with Deb, go with a pin or a pin combo, like a lemon blast, spinner or spinner blast.
    Hooking a spinner blast up to a killer bee or lesser has great potential.

    Re: Need some advice from you...

    A super black pastel is not a bad choice. I'd certainly breed it with that killerbee of yours.

    pewters and pewter bees are hawt, and you'd get a clutch full of both!

    A silver streak or silver bullet might very well run you quite a bit more than the super black pastel, so that's always a consideration. If it were a choice between either of those or the super black pastel, yeah silver streak/bullet is the way to go, but when you factor in price differences, both are fantastic.

    Re: Need some advice from you...

    I'm glad I finally got more replies. I've started to look into the pins a bit. Mainly, I'm looking at spinner blasts and other high end morphs. I also recently found a Spider 100% het VPI Axanthic that would really speed up my Axanthic KillerBee project that I may get. I worked a really cool job for a while and finally have the time to spend the money on something I really enjoy. So, fortunately I have some extra dollars to spend on some fantastic animals.
