    I would pick number one - the nicer looking snake always wins in my world - unless its a female and then its a tie off between size and coloration. The females you want to be big because they will produce more eggs - the male doesn't matter as much as long as he's big enough to breed. Go with the nicer looking boy. Just my .02

    Re: Which one would you keep?

    I'd go with number 1, the one with better color. Afterall, the pastel is a color morph.

    Make that another vote for #1.

    I like the pattern on #2, but #1 has great blushing and seems to be retaining his color a lot better. I would keep the first one, hands down.

    Re: Which one would you keep?

    Hi,

    What are your plans ( breeding and combo wise ) for the pastels?

    Would banding be worth trading colour and blushing for?

    If you have a specific snake in mind for a partner what pattern does it have?

    Well I have a female pastel, so super pastels would be in his future. I am also hoping to purchase a female pin, as I am hoping for lemon blasts. But that is really all.

    #1, He's definitely cleaner and I love how blushed out he is.

    Number 1 to me is a better looking Pastel! I would think he would produce sweeter looking babies, due the the amount of yellow and the clean blushing.

    I personally like pastels that have the least amount of brown out..that to me makes a good pastel. Brighter pastels means brighter super pastels, etc!

    The pattern on number two could be fun to mess with, it's really cool, but if you have to just keep one I'd go with the first! But that's just me personally!
