    Albino or Lesser?

    Thinking of getting a boy to eventually pair with my spider. I love them both! What do you guys think?

    I would go with a Lesser, I like that combo better and the Lesser isn't recessive so you should get the desired results twice as fast.

    In the end it really is up to what you like and want to work with.

    I would go with lesser. It would take two generations to get albino spiders, especially since your female isn't het for albino. You'd need to spend at least two years after the eggs of this clutch hatch before you could try for albinos.

    Re: Albino or Lesser?

    I'd say albino...I'm not a fan of lesser x spider, and to me recessive projects are more fun(and take more focus to carry out).

    I would go with the albino first then if it's an option the lesser the following year. Mostly because the albino will take longer to produce the albino spider you're pursuing, so if you time it right with the albino now and the lesser later you may wind up being able to hatch out albino spiders AND lesser spiders in the same year. And after that you could go for albino lesser spiders.

    I love the look of lesserbees and spider albinos. The lesser has the chance of getting results quicker but the patience of a recessive project can be very rewarding too! Either choice would be a good one imo. I lean towards the lesser a little more though bc i love the BEL complex

    If you are looking to produce visual combos on your first breeding season with this pair then go with a Lesser. If you willing to wait a few breedings to produce a wicked combo using ressesive genes go with an Albino. Your call both potential outcomes are awesome. Ask yourself what you want to produce not what others say is the best way to go. Please yourself and then you will be happy with whatever way you choose to go. My 2 cents.

    I wouldnt reccommend adding more males than females. Not the best route to take if you plan on breeding. Just my opinion...
