    Breeding quandry

    So, I have a female Ghost that is getting up to breeding size this year, she is already 1400 grams and solid.

    I am trying to figure out what to breed to her. I have an Ember Het Hypo male, a Ghost male, Sulfur Mojave male, Pastel YB male, Pied male, or, the wildcard male, a double Het Pied/Axanthic male......

    Should I try to produce Hypo Embers? Try to produce some Sulfurs, Mojaves, and Sulfur Mojaves Het Hypo? Double Het Hypo Pieds? Anyone vote for trying for possible triple hets, Possible het Pied, Possible het Axanthic, and 100% Het Hypo?

    Leaning towards Hypo Embers, although, I am really on the fence, and getting splinters in my @$$, and could be swayed pretty easily

    Nice to have those options!

    I really like the hypo combined with broad pattern morphs like they hypo mojave. So I would probably go with the sulfur mojave male. Even though hypo mojave has been done you would still be going into new territory with the sulfur in there. The extra brightness from the sulfur might improve a good bit on the already nice hypo mojave combo.

    Of course you would need an extra generation to get homozygous hypo so wouldn't be near the speed of a project with one of your males that already has a hypo allele.

    The 2nd most tempting option if it where mine would be the double het pied axanthic male. You don't happen to have a good way to pick out the het axanthics do you?

    Agree with Randy -- Sulphur Mojave for sure. Would produce more rare animals from a line that you have been doing some nice things with.

    I think the clutch/animals produced from that pairing would be the most satisfying given your options!!!

    An Ember is a proven morph, from a pet store female, no super yet, similar to a Fire and similar to a Sulfur, but who knows.

    Ember and normal

    Ghost down below left, awesome Ember het Hypo in the middle, Ember up top on the right.
