    Dilemma/Lemon Blast Albino

    So I bought a gorgeous Spinner Blast het Albino female.

    And she was my first ever DOA.

    I contacted the breeder promptly. He was great, and offered an immediate refund. I asked if he had anymore like her, to "replace" her, instead of a refund. I won her in an auction, so honestly I'm not even sure I could "replace" her for the money I spent. He thought about it and told me he had a female albino lemonblast, which was worth more, but he'd be willing to give me. I agreed to it, though I probably have time to change that, since we won't be shipping again until all of this wonky weather passes. It's a very nice thing he offered me.

    He's my dilemma. I feel like albino lemonblasts look almost just like albino pinstripes. I feel like both of them look too similar to my albino spider. They all kind of look the same to me. She'd be a more practical choice for my breeding, certainly, but my collection is a collection first, and a breeding project second. I feel like she doesn't have the "wow" factor that a spinner blast had, as I REALLY like spinner blasts, and this one had the plus of being useful to breed with my albino male.

    On the other hand, the albino lemonblast is worth more and will make more sell-able babies, and she will be, like my other snakes, a beloved pet as well. I probably need more snakes that produce babies I can sell, and less to keep. I also posses the genes to make my own spinner blasts from at least one pairing, albeit not het albino, but beautiful nonetheless. So I can make spinner blasts myself easily.

    I guess I'm not really asking for advice, as that's a really personal decision depending on my motives. Does anyone have adult pictures of an albino lemon blast as an adult? Does anyone work with them and know if they end up looking unique at all compared to just pinstripe albinos? Like side by side, how noticeably different are the two?

    I looked up pastel albinos, and super pastel albinos, and they too, to me, looked the same almost as plain albinos. Do they grow up more vibrant or dramatically lighten or anything?

    And actually I lied about not asking for further advice, you can totally tell me what your would do in my place and why, I'm so on the fence.
