    Keeper or not?

    I have been going back and forth with this girl. I can't make up my mind and would love some opinions. Mom is a banded normal that was sold to me as a possible het something. She got mixed up and the breeder had over 1000 snakes. I bought her mom because I loved her banded pattern.

    The breeding was my Spider Het ghost male and Enchi x her

    Results were 2 granite specked looking normals, 2 spiders, 2 orange looking things.

    This is one of the Orange looking females. I have already decided to keep her orange sister because I think she is the nicer one. I keep on changing my mind on her. She is a great eater, so that is a plus. She has shed twice. Could she be a low grade Enchi or something else?

    I'm seeing her being a normal myself, but would personally keep her to have another female for breeding. She could have something going on that might be fun to play with in the future along with the other one you're keeping.

    She's a normal, but she's got good orange color going on, and she's reduced pattern. If you work with any orange colored morphs, should could really make some stuff pop, if you keep her. If you don't, you may not have any need for her.

    I always wind up holding back at least one good reduced pattern normal every year. They have to be a great eater, and have a great temperament, too.

    Thanks! I'm still debating. Her sister is the nicer of the two, and I'm trying to cut back on normals and hold backs. LOL I might just grow her up a bit more.

    I'm keeping her sister that has more blushing, but the same orange color to play with. I might hold on to them both for a while until I run out of room. LOL
