    Bee or champagne or butter pastel

    So im having a hard time deciding on which to get next (BumbleeBee or Champagne or Butter Pastel). Im going to attempt to breed in two or three yrs(I want to get them young so i can see the morph from the start). Im starting by getting females and will get the males further down the road. I already have a female pastel. I know that the bee and butterpastel both have 2 genes where as champagne is one. Just wanted some opinions i guess haha

    Re: Bee or champagne or butter pastel

    Really depends on what you like, and where you want to go with them.
    It's a tough choice for me. You already have the pastel gene so I'm thinking of all the combos you could make with the other three genes. Hey - how about a butter spider and you can make the bee and pastel butter?

    Later, down the road, you can make a BEL with the butters and super pastels, super pastel butters and super pastel spiders, pastel butter spiders and super pastel butter spiders.

    I second that butter spider. Get something with two genes, preferably genes you don't have, unless you're wanting something with super pastel. Think about what you want to breed later down the lines and how it fits with your plans.

    I'm in your boat ; Patrick just told me I'm getting a snake for my birthday and now I can't decide!

    Quality Bees are somewhat rare. I also like the idea of the Butter Spider. More powerful than a BumbleBee and more likely to find an awesome example.

    Re: Bee or champagne or butter pastel

    I would vote for a bee. But thats just me, because I love mine.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    It depends on your budget and what you want to eventually produce. Also, since you're just starting out you should research lethal morph combos so you know what to avoid when making purchases. Here's a place to get started: http://www.owalreptiles.com/issues.php
