I've been keeping corns for several years and this year I had my first successful breeding and am now the parent of a bunch of baby corns. Last year I was bitten by the ball python bug and purchased a really nice male spider. Looking back, I wish i had purchased a female...but wasn't thinking about breeding at that point.

I am getting ready to purchase a female pastel to pair with him in the future. I want to get another pair (female this year, and buy male next year). I love all the morphs but have been obsessing over BEL for a year now. My plan was to purchase a Mojave female this year and get the Lesser male next year.

The other base morph that I really like are the high contrast albinos. So I have also been thinking about purchasing either an albino female or a 100% het female this year, and a male albino next year.

Although I really like the BEL's, my wife and friends like the albinos...which makes me wonder if I would have an easier time selling several cheaper albino babies over selling one or 2 expensive BEL hatchlings.

The cost of purchasing the parents would be about the same for either. The profit from selling the babies would probably even out. The only downside with the BEL is that if I only produced one hatchling, there's no way I would sell it, so there goes that.

Help! What do you think? I can't afford both, so that option is out.
