I think with selective breeding, what is most important is thinking about what it is you are looking for in your breeding program. For example, I like really reduced patterned lessers with few if any alien heads. Therefore, if I were to get a lesser and a normal to breed, I would shop around until I found a lesser with few if any alien heads and good colors. As for a mate, if I were going with a normal female I would probably try and find a nice reduced patterned female with a light color. This is just an example, but I don't think it would be possible to make strict guidelines for 'X is what I look for when selectively breeding X morph.' I think you have to decide what you are looking for and go from there. I am a HUGE fan of blushing on the backs of pastels, cinnamons, any morph really. Consequently, I found a female pastel het for hypo that has a lot of blushing down her back. I am in the process of finding a mate for her now. In keeping with my love of blushing, I am searching for either a hypo male with lots of blushing or a reduced patterned spider male. Blushing is hard to come by in a spider, so I feel like a reduced patterned spider would stand a better chance of enhancing the patterning trait I am looking for. These are just some examples of my own tastes. I think this is a great thread I will be interested to hear what others say.
