    Help Me Decide Please

    I finally save enough money to acquire a new snake. I wanna get something that will complement my current collection in terms of maximizing their breeding potential. But I find it really hard to decide which should I get next.

    As of the moment, I have the following females that should be more than ready to breed next season: albino, ghost, bumblebee, lemonblast, butter, mojave, a few hets and normals.

    And for males: bumblebee and pastel

    And here are my choices and my dillema. Should I add a male or add female? Please dont mind the way I grouped them. Im from the Philippines, and prices here are quiet different from there, plus the fact that not all morphs are available in my location. Meaning I just based my idea on what's currently available here that fits my budget.

    pewter male or female
    lesser male and fire female
    POG male or female
    pastave male
    calico

    Thanks in advance.

    So its between the calico and pewter. Both of them are good choices, I love the pewter for its already cool-lookin animal on its own, plus the fact that I may have the chance to hit the odds on producing 3 morph combo when. The calico may not be that spectacular in terms of appearance, but will definitely produces awesome lookin combos when mixed w/ other morphs.

    Thanks for the input guys.

    Hmm that's a hard one. I say get another male, your pastel male can go, you already have a better pastel breeder-the bee. I'm tempted to say the pastave or the lesser (and of course the fire female) because you have a butter and a mojo and you can work on BELs! Whatever your choice is you can still work on killer bees and super blasts!

    But if you wanted to add a new gene, and it looks like calico is what you're debating on. The calico would be pretty cool!

    I'd say go with a Black Pewter. I think the Black Pastel makes a better pewter than the Cinnamon. Bred a female Black Pewter with your Bumblebee male and you can make some nice Silver Streaks, Killer bees and Black Bees

    Bumblebee X Black Pewter
    6.25% Normal
    6.25% Black Pastel
    12.5% Pastel
    6.25% Spider
    12.5% Black Pewter
    12.5% Bumble Bee
    6.25% Black Bee
    6.25% Super Pastel
    6.25% Killer Bee
    12.5% Pastel, Black Pastel, Spider
    6.25% Silver Streak
    6.25% Silver Streak Bee

    Thanks for all the input guys. At least I narrowed it now between the pewter, calico and lesser.
