How do you decide what to keep?

I just ask my wife and my friend the Angel and they know what I should keep and what I should let go.

To funny Ed Liza is more of a keeper than a seller

You keep whatever doesn't sell for the price you want to get out of it.

If I let my husband decide what we keep and what we sell, we'd never sell anything. He's a sucker for a baby ANYTHING.

For me, I will hold back whatever I am trying to produce. For example, this season I was trying for pastels and spiders because I wanted to hold back a female pastel and a female spider. Neither of my girls took this season so that was a no-go.

Next season, I'm going to breed for a female pastel, female spider, a male pinstripe, a lemon blast (any sex), and hold back all 50% possible het pied females I produce.

I don't breed to sell. I breed for what I want, and sell what I don't need for future breeding purposes. Of course, if I really like a certain snake's temperament, I'll keep it. This happened with a male normal we rescued. Fell in love with him, so he stays, even though I'll never breed him.

This is a tough question but a very good one. I hold back anything that catches my eye. Any with a weird or unusual pattern. If I am shooting for a combo and produce just one I will usually hold it back. It is really hard to say.

I could say I am only holding back 10 this year but who knows what will pop out?

I try to keep at least a trio of every visual morph I produce and sell the rest.

My very first clutch was just laid, so I can't speak from personal experience yet... but my plans are to keep one female Mojave (if he's the daddy), one female pastel, and possibly a good looking normal gal. I'm already too heavy on males, so it's all about the girls! If I don't get any of the above, I'll probably just keep the hottest male - have to keep one from my first clutch, right?
