while i have decided not to purchase any snakes until i have paid off my credit card bill (this is why i have so many snakes in the first place) i would vote to get a het female this year as i have a pastel. In the future i could produce homozygous animals and pair them with my pastel to make my own hets.
take it your speaking pied hets..i would have got a female first, just get a het girl this year
